Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

instaseer_profile_timelineFetch a public social profile's recent post timeline with engagement stats (likes, comments, views), profile summary, and a posting-frequency calendar. Fresh scrapes consume plan credits (roughly 1 credit per post, minimum 50); repeat lookups within ~24h hit the cache for free. Use for competitor analysis, creator vetting, and content-strategy research.
instaseer_profile_previewFree, fast lookup of a public profile's headline stats: follower count, bio, post count, verification. Costs no credits. Use it to confirm a handle exists before running the full timeline analysis.
instaseer_follower_countAnswer 'how many followers does X have' for a public Instagram handle. Costs no credits, and is capped at 100 fresh lookups per account per day (resets midnight UTC); handles already looked up in the last 24 hours are served from cache and never count against that. Batch related handles in one session rather than re-checking the same handle repeatedly. Returns the live public follower count, following count, post count, verification, and the public engagement rate over a sample of recent posts. The engagement rate is NOT an audience quality or fake-follower measure: across brands with genuine audiences it legitimately spans 0.02% to over 7%, so it is only meaningful when comparing close peers. Instagram publishes no follower list, so no tool can determine which followers are real — if the user asks about fake followers, say that plainly instead of inferring it from this rate. Prefer this over instaseer_profile_timeline when the user only wants follower numbers.
instaseer_compare_profilesRun the timeline analysis for up to 5 handles and return them side by side. Each fresh handle consumes credits like instaseer_profile_timeline. Use for head-to-head competitor benchmarking.
instaseer_account_usageFree. Returns the account's plan, credits used/remaining this month, extra pack credits, and upgrade options. Use when the user asks about their InstaSeer usage, limits, or billing.
