It works, but just isn't what you wanted. ;-)

Note:

,----[ C-h f insert RET ]
| insert is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
| 
| (insert &rest ARGS)
| 
| Insert the arguments, either strings or characters, at point.
| Point and after-insertion markers move forward to end up
|  after the inserted text.
| [...]
`-----


So try something like

(defun my-insert-level ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (format "%d" (org-outline-level))))

To insert a string.

HTH,

Chuck
