getNetworkDexes

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the DEXes (exchanges) operating on one network, such as Uniswap on ethereum or Raydium on solana, returned under 'dexes' with page_info (page, total_pages). Read-only and keyless. Use for 'which DEXes are on Base?', 'does Solana have Orca?', or to get a dex id to feed into getDexPools. Scope is a single network; call getNetworks first for the slug. Params: network (required slug); limit (default 10, max 100); page (default 1, 1-indexed); sort_by (only 'pool'; legacy alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc' or 'desc' (default 'desc'; legacy alias sort).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`page`	No	OPTIONAL: Page number, 1-indexed. Server accepts page=0 (treated as page=1) for backward compatibility.
`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)
`network`	Yes	REQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
`sort_by`	No	OPTIONAL: Sort field. Canonical parameter name; older tools used order_by. 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.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it is 'Read-only and keyless', describes the response structure (under 'dexes' with page_info), and mentions pagination. This provides useful context beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is about 4-5 sentences, front-loads the main purpose, gives usage examples, then lists parameters compactly. No superfluous information, every sentence serves a clear purpose.

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?

Given no output schema, the description adequately describes the output shape (dexes, page_info with page and total_pages). It covers pagination, prerequisites, and connections to sibling tools. Missing no critical context for a listing endpoint.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by summarizing parameters with defaults and legacy aliases (sort_by/order_by, sort_dir/sort). This helps the agent understand the parameter relationships and defaults concisely.

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 clearly states the tool lists DEXes on a network, gives specific examples (Uniswap on ethereum, Raydium on solana), and mentions the response structure. It also distinguishes from sibling tool getDexPools by noting that the dex id can be used as input.

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?

Provides explicit use cases ('which DEXes are on Base?', 'does Solana have Orca?') and prerequisite ('call getNetworks first for the slug'). It also clarifies the scope is a single network and how to use the output with getDexPools.

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

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose: network listings, DEX listings, pool discovery, pool snapshots, OHLCV, transactions, token details, multi-price, token pools, search, stats, and feedback. Potential overlaps like getTopTokens vs filterNetworkTokens are explicitly disambiguated in descriptions.

Naming Consistency4/5

Mostly follows camelCase verb-first pattern (getNetworks, getPoolDetails, getTokenMultiPrices). However, the pair filterNetworkTokens and getNetworkPoolsFilter are inconsistently structured; the latter should logically be filterNetworkPools for full consistency.

Tool Count4/5

At 17 tools, it slightly exceeds the ideal 3-15 range, but each tool covers a distinct data operation for a comprehensive DEX-market API. The count feels justified given the breadth of features, though it is on the heavier side.

Completeness4/5

The domain of read-only DEX analytics is well covered: networks, DEXes, pools, tokens, search, stats, and per-pool history. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct token price history endpoint, but pool OHLCV and token details cover most needs.
