RISK

Why instagram_publish_media is rated Medium

Publishing media to Instagram is a Write operation: it creates new public content and modifies the Instagram account's state. While publishable content could be deleted, the act of publishing itself is a creation that generates immediate public exposure. Not Destructive since posts can be deleted later.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Publish a photo (IMAGE) or video (REELS) from workspace files to a connected Instagram Business/Creator account' with rate limit of ~25 publishes per day. This creates/publishes new content to Instagram, a reversible action.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs instagram_publish_media safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For instagram_publish_media, this is the rule to start with:

instagram_publish_media Rate-limited

instagram_publish_media stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
