getDexPools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the pools belonging to one specific DEX on one network, e.g. all Uniswap v3 pools on ethereum, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. Proxies /networks/{network}/pools/search with a dex_name filter; the old /networks/{network}/dexes/{dex}/pools endpoint was removed, so the 24h volume field is now volume_usd_24h and there is no page_info. Narrower than getNetworkPools (a single exchange, not the whole chain). Use for 'show me Raydium pools', 'top pairs on PancakeSwap', or 'liquidity on Orca'. Get the dex id from getNetworkDexes or search first, and pass that response's dex_id field ('uniswap_v3'), matched case-insensitively. Do not pass its dex_name field ('Uniswap V3'): a human display name returns HTTP 200 with an empty results[] rather than an error, so an empty answer here usually means the wrong form of the name was sent. Params: network (required slug); dex (required id, e.g. 'uniswap_v3'; the REST API calls this query parameter dex_name); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor (pass the previous next_cursor to page); sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', canonical *_24h fields, short legacy names still accepted, alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc'/'desc' (default 'desc', alias sort). The old page number is superseded: page 2 and above return an error pointing at cursor.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dexYesREQUIRED: the dex_id field from getNetworkDexes (e.g., 'uniswap_v3'), matched case-insensitively. Do not pass that response's dex_name field, the human display name (e.g., 'Uniswap V3'): it returns an empty results[] instead of an error, so a wrong value looks like a real but empty answer. The REST API calls this parameter dex_name.
pageNoSUPERSEDED: the replacement endpoint is cursor-paginated and ignores page. page=1 (or 0) still returns the first page as before; page=2 or above returns an error telling you to use cursor.
sortNoOPTIONAL: alias of sort_dir; both are accepted. Not deprecated at the REST layer: api.dexpaprika.com itself takes sort, so use this name when calling the REST API directly.
limitNoOPTIONAL: Number of items per page (default: 10, max: 100)
cursorNoOPTIONAL: Pagination cursor. Pass `next_cursor` from a previous response to fetch the next page (read `has_next_page` to know if more remain). Replaces the old page number.
networkYesREQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
sort_byNoOPTIONAL: Sort field. Canonical parameter name. Defaults to 'volume_usd_24h'. Prefer the canonical *_24h names; short legacy names (volume_usd, transactions, last_price_change_usd_24h) are still accepted and normalized. The REST API calls this parameter order_by.
order_byNoOPTIONAL: alias of sort_by; both are accepted. Not deprecated at the REST layer: api.dexpaprika.com itself takes order_by, so use this name when calling the REST API directly.
sort_dirNoOPTIONAL: Sort direction (asc/desc). Canonical parameter name. Defaults to 'desc' if neither sort_dir nor sort is provided. The REST API calls this parameter sort.
rationaleYesREQUIRED. 1-2 sentence rationale for this call (e.g. "User asked for X; calling Y to fetch Z"). Logged for MCP improvement, never shown to end users. No PII or secrets. See the server `instructions` field for the full convention and worked examples.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryNoEcho of the resolved query and filters the API applied.
resultsYes
next_cursorNoOpaque pagination cursor. Pass back as the `cursor` argument to fetch the next page; null/absent on the last page.
has_next_pageNoTrue if more results are available; fetch them by passing next_cursor as `cursor`.

  6. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare the operation read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, but the description adds substantial behavioral context: the tool is keyless, proxies a search endpoint, the old endpoint was removed, the 24h volume field was renamed, page_info no longer exists, wrong dex_name returns HTTP 200 with empty results rather than an error, and page numbers are superseded by cursor pagination. This goes well beyond what annotations provide and contains no contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and examples, and every major segment earns its place: scope, use cases, the critical dex_id/dex_name pitfall, and pagination behavior. It is long, but the density of useful operational detail justifies most of it. It loses a point because the final 'Params' section largely duplicates the schema's own parameter descriptions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 10 parameters, multiple aliases, a legacy endpoint change, a subtle empty-results failure mode, and cursor pagination, this description is remarkably complete. Together with the rich input schema, annotations, and existing output schema, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly and interpret edge cases.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description summarizes defaults, aliases, and the dex_id-vs-dex_name gotcha, but these details already appear in the input schema itself. It adds no genuinely new parameter meaning beyond what the schema already documents.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb+resource: 'Get the pools belonging to one specific DEX on one network', with a concrete Uniswap v3/ethereum example. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling getNetworkPools by explicitly noting it is narrower and covers a single exchange, not the whole chain.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives explicit use cases ('show me Raydium pools', 'top pairs on PancakeSwap') and directly compares against getNetworkPools. It also gives a clear prerequisite workflow: get the dex_id from getNetworkDexes or search first, and warns against passing dex_name. This gives an agent concrete decision rules for when and how to call the tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
