WHAT IT DOES

What like_instagram does on Hermoso

AI agents call like_instagram 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.

RISK

Why like_instagram is rated Low

Even though like_instagram 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs like_instagram 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 like_instagram, this is the rule to start with:

like_instagram Allowed

like_instagram is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "like_instagram": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hermoso, apply this rule, and every like_instagram call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about like_instagram

What does the like_instagram tool do? +

Like (or unlike) an Instagram post, Reel, comment or reply AS the brand’s Instagram account — Meta’s Like Media and Comments API (April 2026). The cheapest engagement a brand does: like the good comments on your own posts and the posts you are tagged in. Pass exactly one of mediaId or commentId; undo:true unlikes. Stories and private accounts cannot be liked. Needs the Meta (Facebook Login) connector — a direct Instagram login has no likes edge. Roughly 200 likes per account per hour. Free. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hermoso MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on like_instagram? +

Register the Hermoso MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for like_instagram: 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 Hermoso. Nothing to install.

Can I rate-limit like_instagram? +

How do I block like_instagram completely? +
