DexPaprika

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 The old page number is superseded: page 2 and above return an error pointing at cursor.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

Name	Required	Description
`dex`	Yes	REQUIRED: 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.
`page`	No	SUPERSEDED: the replacement endpoint is cursor-paginated and ignores page.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.
`sort`	No	OPTIONAL: 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.
`limit`	No	OPTIONAL: Number of items per page (default: 10, max: 100)
`cursor`	No	OPTIONAL: 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.
`network`	Yes	REQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
`sort_by`	No	OPTIONAL: 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_by`	No	OPTIONAL: 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_dir`	No	OPTIONAL: 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.
`rationale`	Yes	REQUIRED. 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

Name	Required	Description
`query`	No	Echo of the resolved query and filters the API applied.
`results`	Yes
`next_cursor`	No	Opaque pagination cursor. Pass back as the `cursor` argument to fetch the next page; null/absent on the last page.
`has_next_page`	No	True if more results are available; fetch them by passing next_cursor as `cursor`.

A4.4/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already cover the read-only/idempotent safety profile, but the description adds behavior the annotations cannot express: keyless access, the empty-results[]-instead-of-error trap for wrong dex name form, removal of the old endpoint and the resulting field rename (volume_usd_24h), and the fact that page>=2 errors while pointing at cursor. These are exactly the failure modes an agent would otherwise hit blind.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Purpose, scope and the sibling comparison are correctly front-loaded, but the trailing 'Params: ...' run-on largely duplicates the input schema verbatim, and the dex_name/dex_id warning is repeated almost word-for-word from the schema. Semicolon-chained clauses make it dense; roughly a third of the text is recoverable from structured fields.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 10-parameter tool with full schema coverage, annotations and an output schema, this is more than sufficient — return shape (results, has_next_page, next_cursor) is mentioned even though the output schema already covers it. Slightly over-complete rather than under-complete, which is a redundancy issue, not a gap.

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's parameter section restates what the schema already documents (limit default/max, cursor=next_cursor, sort_by default and legacy aliases, sort_dir alias sort, page superseded) rather than adding new meaning, so it earns no lift above baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource (pools belonging to one DEX on one network) and immediately concretizes it with 'all Uniswap v3 pools on ethereum'. It explicitly positions the tool against its sibling getNetworkPools ('Narrower than getNetworkPools (a single exchange, not the whole chain)'), so an agent can separate the two without opening either schema.

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?

Gives explicit invocation scenarios ('show me Raydium pools', 'top pairs on PancakeSwap', 'liquidity on Orca'), names the sibling it is narrower than, and states the prerequisite chain (get the dex id from getNetworkDexes or search first). It also gives a negative rule — do not pass dex_name — with the consequence of getting it wrong.

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