How about a less ambitious, and thus perhaps more useful tool. Determining if

For those which do not have an infinite number what is the number, choice to
generate instances at that point.
I don't understand why everybody seems to react to the word "infinite"
in this way.
Infinite or not, it doesn't matter -- the tool must generate the first
N instances (possibly satisfying some additional, user-defined set of
conditions).
In order for "the first N" to be meaningful, we must refer to some
ordering on the set of instances -- a suitable ordering criteria might
be length (number of nodes) of the instance.
