## Tools
- instagram_user_info(username_or_url: string) — Full public account data for a profile: pk (numeric id), bio, bio_links, follower/following counts, verification, private/public, profile pic. Accepts username, numeric id, or profile URL.
- instagram_user_info_v2(username_or_url: string) — Alternate (v3) endpoint for full public account data — same fields as instagram_user_info; use as a fallback if the primary returns no data.
- instagram_user_basic(username_or_url: string) — Lightweight profile preview: basic user_data plus a slice of recent user_posts. Faster/cheaper than full info when you only need the essentials.

- instagram_user_similar_accounts(username_or_url: string) — Accounts Instagram suggests as similar to the given profile (the 'Suggested for you' chips). Returns an array of user objects.
- instagram_user_posts(username_or_url: string, pagination_token?: string) — A page of a user's feed posts (carousel/image/video) with code, pk, caption, counts and media URLs. Returns { posts, pagination_token }; pass the token back for the next page.
