Things your coworker can do in Instagram.

• Create Carousel Container

  Create a draft carousel post with multiple images/videos before publishing. Instagram requires carousels to have between 2 and 10 media items. Container creation_ids expire in under 24 hours, so publish promptly after creation.

  INSTAGRAM_CREATE_CAROUSEL_CONTAINER
• Create Media Container (Deprecated)

  DEPRECATED: Use INSTAGRAM_POST_IG_USER_MEDIA instead. Creates a draft media container for photos/videos/reels before publishing. Business/Creator accounts only — personal accounts unsupported. Returns a container ID (data.id or data.creation_id) used as creation_id for publishing. Containers expire in ~24 hours — recreate stale containers rather than reusing old IDs. Before publishing via INSTAGRAM_CREATE_POST, call INSTAGRAM_GET_POST_STATUS and wait for FINISHED status — publishing before FINISHED triggers error 9007. Each creation_id is one-time-use; if container creation fails (status_code='ERROR'), fix media params and recreate via this tool rather than retrying publish with the failed ID.

  INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER
• Create Post (Deprecated)

  DEPRECATED: Use INSTAGRAM_POST_IG_USER_MEDIA_PUBLISH instead. Publish a draft media container to Instagram (final publishing step). Posts become immediately and publicly visible upon success — confirm intent before calling. Requires Business or Creator account with publish scopes; missing scopes return Graph error code 10. After creating a media container, Instagram may need time to process media before publishing. If called too early, error code 9007 is returned. This action automatically retries with exponential backoff (up to ~44 seconds total). For large videos, use INSTAGRAM_GET_POST_STATUS to poll until status_code='FINISHED' before calling; for carousels, all child containers must individually reach FINISHED status first. No native scheduling support — use an external scheduler to trigger this call at the desired time.

  INSTAGRAM_CREATE_POST
• Get Instagram Media

  Get a published Instagram Media object (photo, video, story, reel, or carousel). Use when you need to retrieve detailed information about a specific Instagram post including engagement metrics, caption, media URLs, and metadata. NOTE: This action is for published media only. For unpublished container IDs (from INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER), use INSTAGRAM_GET_POST_STATUS to check status instead.

  INSTAGRAM_GET_IG_MEDIA
• Get IG Media Comments

  Tool to retrieve comments on an Instagram media object. Use when you need to fetch comments from a specific Instagram post, photo, video, or carousel owned by the connected Business/Creator account. Supports cursor-based pagination for navigating through large comment lists. An empty data array in the response indicates the post has no comments and is not an error. Bulk-fetching across many media objects may trigger API rate limits.

  INSTAGRAM_GET_IG_MEDIA_COMMENTS
• Get IG Media Insights

  Tool to get insights and metrics for Instagram media objects (photos, videos, reels, carousel albums). Use when you need to retrieve performance data such as views, reach, likes, comments, saves, and shares for specific media. Note: Insights data is only available for media published within the last 2 years, and the account must have at least 1,000 followers. Requires a Business or Creator account; personal Instagram profiles are not supported.

  INSTAGRAM_GET_IG_MEDIA_INSIGHTS

  INSTAGRAM_POST_IG_USER_MEDIA
• Publish IG User Media

  Tool to publish a media container to an Instagram Business account. This action automatically waits for the container to finish processing before publishing. Rate limited to 25 API-published posts per 24-hour moving window. The publishing process: 1. First, create a media container using INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER 2. Call this action with the creation_id - it will automatically poll for FINISHED status 3. Once ready, the media is published and the published media ID is returned For videos/reels, processing may take 30-120 seconds. Images are typically instant.

  INSTAGRAM_POST_IG_USER_MEDIA_PUBLISH
