What instagram_insights does on Hermoso
AI agents call instagram_insights to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why instagram_insights is rated Low
Even though instagram_insights only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs instagram_insights safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hermoso, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For instagram_insights, this is the rule to start with:
instagram_insights is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hermoso, apply this rule, and every instagram_insights call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about instagram_insights
ACCOUNT-level performance for the brand’s connected Instagram Business account — views, reach, accounts engaged, total interactions, likes, comments, shares, saves, profile link taps, replies, reposts and follows/unfollows — plus the AUDIENCE DEMOGRAPHICS (follower_demographics and engaged_audience_demographics, broken down by age, city, country or gender), which is the read that says WHO the content reached rather than how many. Use meta_post_insights for one post and meta_page_insights for the Facebook Page. THERE IS NO.
