Scored across 15 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. Tools are well-separated by resource (e.g., post, user, comment) and action (e.g., get, like, follow), making it easy for an agent to select the right one. For example, instagram_get_post_comments and instagram_comment_on_post serve different but complementary functions without overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with the prefix 'instagram_' for clarity. The naming is uniform across all tools (e.g., instagram_like_post, instagram_get_user_profile), using snake_case consistently without any deviations or mixed conventions.
The 15 tools are well-scoped for an Instagram server, covering core functionalities like authentication, profile management, posting interactions, and search. Each tool earns its place without feeling excessive or insufficient, providing a comprehensive yet manageable set for typical Instagram operations.
The tool surface is nearly complete for Instagram interactions, covering authentication, CRUD-like operations (e.g., get, like, comment, follow), and profile/post management. A minor gap exists in update/delete actions for posts or comments, but agents can work around this with the available tools, and core workflows are well-supported.
