AI agents call get_instagram_user_stories to retrieve information from Scavio without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves publicly available Instagram user story data without side effects. It is a straightforward query operation that accesses information but does not create, modify, delete, or execute actions. The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as reading user-generated content poses no destructive or financial threat.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_instagram_user_stories' and description 'Get an Instagram user' indicate data retrieval. The verb 'Get' and sibling tools (get_amazon_product, get_instagram_post, etc.) all follow a read-only pattern.
