AI agents call getInstagramPostsByIds to retrieve information from Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ) without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though getInstagramPostsByIds only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get multiple Instagram posts by IDs (1-100 IDs per request). Returns results directly. Returns only found posts, omitting not-found IDs for flexibility. First searches database, then external API for missing/stale data in parallel. Use when you have multiple exact post IDs. NOT for search - use getInstagramPostsByKeywords. PERFORMANCE: Much more efficient than multiple single-ID calls. Batches database queries and parallelizes API calls. IMPORTANT: postIds must be in strong_id format (e.g., "3606450040306139062_4836333238") - use the full "id" value from other Instagram tools, NOT just the media_id. To find a post from an Instagram URL (e.g., instagram.com/p/ABC123/), extract the shortcode from the URL path and use getInstagramPostsByKeywords to search, or ask the user for the post ID. Optional fields parameter for performance: ["id", "caption", "likeCount"]. Returns: results array with id, caption, userId, username, createdAtDate, engagement metrics, count, dataSource. This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ) MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getInstagramPostsByIds: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ). Nothing to install.
getInstagramPostsByIds is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getInstagramPostsByIds rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for getInstagramPostsByIds. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
getInstagramPostsByIds is provided by the Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ) MCP server (https://mcp.xpoz.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
