Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| loginA | Open a visible browser so you can sign in to Instagram by hand. Credentials are never stored — only the browser profile is persisted, so you log in once. Use force=True to re-auth an expired session or clear a checkpoint. WARNING: automating Instagram violates its ToS and risks the account. Use a secondary/throwaway account, never your main. |
| login_statusA | Report whether the persisted Instagram session is currently logged in. |
| logoutA | Clear the persisted browser profile. Next run requires login() again. |
| doctorA | Diagnose setup: browser availability, profile path, auth state, next action. |
| scroll_reelsA | Scroll the default Instagram Reels feed and return structured reel metadata. Returns {reels: [...], count, timing, fill_rate}. Each reel: url, creator, caption, description (= caption), visual_description (IG auto alt-text), likes, comments, views, shares, reposts, date_posted (ISO 8601), date_posted_ts (unix), audio, _source. Engagement fields are best-effort — missing ones come back null rather than failing. Note on views: the home feed omits view/play counts, so
This call drives the default feed only. For a topic use |
| search_reelsA | Search Instagram by keyword and return matching reels. Same reel shape and error handling as scroll_reels, sourced from the explore
search results for |
| hashtag_reelsB | Browse a hashtag page and return its reels.

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: authentication (login, login_status, logout), setup diagnostics (doctor), and three different reels retrieval methods (scroll_reels for default feed, search_reels for keyword search, hashtag_reels for hashtag browsing). Descriptions explicitly note differences in view count availability, preventing confusion.
Tool names mix patterns: 'doctor' is a noun not following verb_noun, 'hashtag_reels' is noun_noun, while 'scroll_reels' and 'search_reels' are verb_noun. 'login', 'login_status', 'logout' are verb-based but not consistent with the others. The inconsistency makes naming less predictable.
Seven tools is well-scoped for an Instagram reels browsing server: three for authentication lifecycle, three for reels retrieval (feed, search, hashtag), and one for diagnostics. Each tool serves a clear function without redundancy.
The tool surface covers all essential operations for browsing Instagram reels: authentication setup, status checks, logout, and three distinct retrieval paths. Given the warning against automation beyond ToS, omitting write actions (like, comment) is appropriate. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
