A lot of anti-teleportation effects in 5e affect only creatures (see Hallow, for example). While it doesn't explicitly state that Instant Summons is a teleport, even if it were, most of these anti-teleport measures would fail. I can easily see a temple with Hallow in place in its library to stop people from teleporting out. Someone wants to steal a rare book. They read it, mark it, give the boo back to the librarian, subject themselves to search (for a book) at the exit, and go to the inn or home where they then activate the summons and BAM! Have the book.Interesting point on the dispellability. That does imply it radiates magic. I don't buy the detect invisible because if the gem is in your pocket or set into your tiara then there will be nothing to detect (in the latter case assuming the invisible mark is facing the setting of the gem). In any event, a simple Nondetection spell stops that and the detect magic. And a physical search turns up nothing because....you don't have the object you intend to smuggle out! Every way out? It marks the shortest path doesn't it.</blockquote>
