library_stats
Totals for the library plus deep-read coverage per field.
list_folders
List the user's saved-post collections (rooms). `item_count` is the count Instagram reports; `mapped_posts` is how many are actually indexed.
list_tags
List tags by usage, most-used first.
search_posts
Search the library. Matches query text against captions and deep-read knowledge (summaries, key points, how-to). Optionally restrict to one folder (collection id or folder name) and/or one tag. Returns up to `limit` matches (1-50) as compact cards with a `has_knowledge` flag.
