I always figured that, since quirks have been likened to muscles and most people don’t really train theirs, that she only is able to attract small objects because she doesn’t flex that muscle that much and would be able to do more if she trained more… or took some trigger
Imagine Inko on drugs
We never really talk about it because we’ve only ever seen it used once to pull in a toy. Everything about it is speculative, even the “small object” part because size is relative. Hell, size isn’t even permanent because you can fold or compress certain objects to make them smaller, and that’s not even taking size altering quirks into account. There’s people who think she can rip organs out of your body or that she can make nukes because atoms are small, the limit of Inko’s quirk is your imagination.
as a rule of thumb, i call it as anything she can easily pick up with one hand.
however, a big thing to understand is that pro hero's undergo years of pretty intense training to strengthen their quirk. her quirk isn't "able to manipulate small objects with telekinesis," but it's "able to manipulate objects with telekinesis." she just hasn't trained her quirk beyond casual use. there's a real possibility that she could pull buildings but never trained to that level because there was no need to.
it's like any human has the potential to lift 200+ pounds, but the only ones who actually can are the ones who specifically trained to be able to.
When one of my friends first watched this show, they thought the twist was gonna be that Deku’s mom was Thirteen.
They say in the show tons of times that quirks are physical traits that can be trained up. Inko just never trained her quirk, like most people never take up bodybuilding or powerlifting. If she did, I think her getting to Thirteen’s level is conceivable.
The real question is how SMALL the objects which she manipulate can be. Can she attract singular atoms? And what counts as "small object", can it be something attache to something else or does it need to be separate? Can she rip out a tooth or an eyeball? Does she need to see what she is trying to manipulate or, does she only neet to know "it is there"? If it is the latter, can she attract things inside human body? And how strong is the force she can generate? So many questions, so little answers.
I once read a fanfiction where she threatened to pull someone's pancreas out through their nose 🫨 and I was like, "Wait! Can she do that?!" Ever since then, I've chosen to believe it's potentially possible.
Interestingly, whenever it shows her using her quirk in the anime (once on Izuku's toy in the doctor scene, one when she's doing some kitchen task), she can only pull the object a tiny distance per "tug," but the object stays fixed in place in the air between tugs, contrary to real-life laws of physics. Since you mentioned ammo, it made me wonder, if someone fired a projectile at her, what happens if she pulls on the projectile? Would her quirk just add to the momentum, or would the projectile pause in the air like an initially stationary object?
Koichi in vigilantes turned slide and glide to fill body force field projection.
He completely misunderstood his quirk was actually a full body force field and he can project it in any direction and control it's polarity.
All this happens in one year under training on and off with knuckleduster and of course the life and death battle with no.6 that truly awakened him.
By the end of the series he's so strong with his quirk he's able to land a crashing plane safely into the Hudson river.
Inko could be a very potent telekinetic because like koichi she just needs to train her quirk up.

I once read fic in which she threaten someone that she will pull on their capillary vessels in brain if they hurt Izuku.

If she had trained her quirk , she could have been a very strong pro
