## Request

Use the exact public capability ID in the shared execute envelope.

```bash

### Example input

```json
{
  "tag": "photography"
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This redacted fixture is an example, not a fixed response schema.

```json
{
  "canonical_url": "https://www.threads.com/tag/photography",
  "counts_observed": true,
  "description": "109K recent threads · Discover conversations, thoughts, photos and videos related to photography on Threads.",
  "recent_threads": 109000,
  "tag": "photography",
  "tag_url": "https://www.threads.com/tag/photography",
  "title": "photography · 41M threads",
  "total_threads": 41000000
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `canonical_url` | `string` | https://www.threads.com/tag/photography |
| `counts_observed` | `boolean` | true |
| `description` | `string` | 109K recent threads · Discover conversations, thoughts, photos and vide… |
| `recent_threads` | `integer` | 109000 |
| `tag` | `string` | photography |
| `tag_url` | `string` | https://www.threads.com/tag/photography |
| `title` | `string` | photography · 41M threads |
| `total_threads` | `integer` | 41000000 |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
