List Instagram posts for a hashtag API

Returns posts for a hashtag, grouped into `sections` (a tabs navigation section, then media grid sections). One media item sits in `layout_content.medias[].media`. For the next page, send the cursor from the answer as `next_max_id` (and `rank_token` if given). The tab is chosen with `tabs` (top or recent).

Paging: read `next_max_id` from the answer and send it back as `next_max_id=` for the next page; stop when it is empty or repeats. From MCP: call_endpoint("flashapi.search_hashtag", params, pages=3) follows it for you.
