Meta Raw GET

Read-only

Execute read-only GET requests to Meta Instagram Graph paths for exploring and retrieving statistics, insights, and comments.

Instructions

Run a read-only GET against an official Meta Instagram Graph relative path for exploratory endpoints.

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true. Description adds 'read-only GET' and 'exploratory endpoints' context but lacks additional behavioral details like rate limits or error handling.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, 14 words, direct and efficient. No fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema, missing details on response format, error behavior, or authentication. Does not explain that this is for development/testing or warn about potential issues with raw paths.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is low (33% with only path described). Description does not explain the query or accessToken parameters beyond what the schema provides, missing opportunity to clarify their roles.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states the verb (GET), resource (Meta Instagram Graph), and scope (exploratory endpoints). Distinguishes from sibling tools like meta_get_media which target specific endpoints.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Description mentions 'exploratory endpoints' implying it's for experimentation, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs the many specific sibling tools, nor provide when-not-to-use guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
