| includeHighlights | No | boolean, default value: false |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only repeats the title and adds billing info. It does not communicate any behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication, or what happens with private accounts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely brief, which is concise, but it repeats the title and includes a billing note that could be considered low-value. It is front-loaded but not fully structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool with 3 params and no output schema, the description could be complete, but it lacks guidance on output format, error cases, and privacy considerations (private accounts). It is adequate but minimal.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers two of three parameters with descriptions (including defaults), giving 67% coverage. The description does not add semantics beyond the schema, but the schema is fairly helpful. The username param is documented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The title 'Get Private User Feed & Highlights' and description 'Get Private User Feed & Highlights' clearly state the tool's purpose. However, it does not distinguish from the sibling tool 'get_v1_search' beyond naming the resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the sibling tool 'get_v1_search', nor any exclusions. The only context is the billing note, which is not usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Search Users Billing per call: 1 Credits.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only adds billing info ('Billing per call: 1 Credits'), which is a useful extra, but does not disclose return format, read-only nature, pagination, or any side effects. The name suggests a read operation, but that is not explicitly stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short ('Search Users Billing per call: 1 Credits.'), which makes it concise, but the placement of billing information after the purpose is awkward and potentially confusing. It is not a well-structured sentence, though it is brief and front-loads the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has one simple parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, but the description still omits critical context: whether query is optional (schema says required: 0), what results look like, and how it differs from 'get_v1_get_all_user_data'. For a search tool, providing minimal usage guidance is insufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema defines a single 'query' string parameter with an example but no description, and schema coverage is 0%. The tool description does not explain what the query is used for, whether it is a full-text search, exact match, or how to format it. The description adds no value beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Search Users', which clearly identifies the verb (search) and resource (users). It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'get_v1_get_all_user_data' by implying search functionality rather than bulk retrieval, though it does not explicitly name the alternative.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus the sibling 'get_v1_get_all_user_data'. The description does not mention any filtering capabilities, scope, or appropriate contexts, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections. Dates show when Glama detected each change.
get_v1_get_all_user_dataget_v1_searchClaiming proves that you control a remote MCP connector. It does not move, proxy, or interrupt the server.
Open the connector listing, choose Claim ownership, and sign in to Glama.
Complete one verification method:
GitHub identity — fastest for official registry listings. For a namespace such as io.github.alice/server, link the matching GitHub user, then choose Claim with GitHub. An organization namespace such as io.github.acme/server also needs that organization to have installed the Glama AI GitHub App and approved its permissions, because GitHub discloses organization membership only to apps it has installed. Use HTTP or DNS when it has not.
HTTP challenge — works when you can deploy a public file. Generate a token, publish the exact JSON Glama shows at /.well-known/glama.json on the same origin as the connector, then choose Check HTTP challenge.
DNS challenge — works when you control DNS but cannot change the server. Generate a token, create the exact TXT record Glama shows, wait for it to propagate, then choose Check DNS challenge.
After verification, Glama sends a confirmation email and gives you access to listing details, thumbnails, health checks, and analytics. Keep the HTTP file or DNS record in place: Glama periodically checks it and ownership remains verified while the token is discoverable.
The HTTP ownership file has this structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"claim": "glama_claim_..."
}Claim tokens are opaque, stable, and bound to the signed-in Glama account. They contain no email address or other personal information. If Glama can no longer discover a verified HTTP or DNS token, it starts a seven-day grace period before removing claim-based access. Restore the same token during that period to keep ownership verified. Never publish an email address, Glama session token, GitHub token, or connector credential as ownership proof.
If verification fails, confirm that you copied the current token exactly. The HTTP file must be public, return valid JSON with a successful HTTP response, and stay on the connector's origin. DNS changes may need more time to propagate. A claim cannot transfer to a different origin or hostname: if the connector target changes, Glama starts the grace period and the new target must be claimed separately after the previous claim is released.
For a connector linked to the official MCP Registry, registry updates continue to replace its name, description, and URL by default. After claiming, open Manage connector and enable Use Glama listing details as the source of truth if edits made on Glama should be preserved. Categories and thumbnails are always managed on Glama; registry linkage and technical connection settings continue to sync.

The two tools have distinct purposes: one retrieves a specific user's feed and highlights, the other searches for users. There is no overlap in functionality, though the naming could be clearer to avoid potential confusion.
Both tools share a 'get_v1_' prefix, but the suffixes are inconsistent: 'get_all_user_data' is verbose and redundant, while 'search' is a simple verb. This does not follow a consistent verb-noun pattern, making the names less predictable.
With only two tools, the server feels underdeveloped for a private profile viewer. A typical service of this kind would likely need at least 5-10 tools to cover common operations like fetching profiles, posts, stories, or followers.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for the stated purpose. It only provides feed/highlights retrieval and user search, but misses essential features such as getting a profile's bio, posts, stories, followers, or following lists, which are core to viewing private Instagram profiles.
