## Why instagram_list_media is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves metadata about existing Instagram media. It has no side effects, creates no new content, modifies nothing, and poses minimal risk. The only minor concern is potential exposure of media metadata (captions, timestamps, URLs), but this information is already public on the connected Instagram account. Low severity appropriate for read-only data retrieval.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'instagram_list_media' and description states it 'List photos and Reels' and 'Returns id, caption, media_type, permalink, thumbnail_url, timestamp' — purely retrieves data with no modification or deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call instagram_list_media to retrieve information from Dialogbrain without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Dialogbrain:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "instagram_list_media": {}
  }
}
```
