  • HighExcessive Permission Surface ×3
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_CAROUSEL_CONTAINER:tool declares network permission
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER:tool declares network permission
    • INSTAGRAM_SEND_IMAGE:tool declares network permission
    Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
  • MediumExcessive Permission Surface ×5
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_CAROUSEL_CONTAINER:tool declares fs permission
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER:tool declares fs permission
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_POST:tool declares fs permission
    • INSTAGRAM_GET_USER_INFO:tool declares fs permission
    • INSTAGRAM_GET_USER_INSIGHTS:tool declares fs permission
    Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
  • LowDoS Resilience — Missing Rate Limit / Timeout ×3
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_CAROUSEL_CONTAINER:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
    • INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
    • INSTAGRAM_SEND_IMAGE:tool performs network or execution operations but declares no rate-limit, timeout, or retry configuration
    Rule: AS-011Fix: Declare explicit rate-limit, timeout, and retry configuration for all network and execution tools. Implement exponential back-off and surface resource state to the calling agent.
  • LowExcessive Permission Surface

    INSTAGRAM_CREATE_MEDIA_CONTAINER:input schema exposes 11 properties (threshold: 10)

    Rule: AS-002Fix: Tool requests broad permissions (exec/fs/network). Validate input parameters using Enums where possible, and restrict file system operations to explicit allowed directories.
