getNetworkPools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the top liquidity pools across a whole network, ranked by 24h volume by default, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. This is the primary chain-wide pool discovery tool. Use for 'biggest pools on ethereum', 'top trading pairs on Base', or 'most active pools on Solana'. Narrow to one exchange with getDexPools, or apply numeric/time filters with getNetworkPoolsFilter. Params: network (required slug); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor (pass previous next_cursor to page); sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', canonical *_24h fields, alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc' or 'desc' (default 'desc', alias sort).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`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. 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

TableJSON 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`.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description discloses keyless access, pagination semantics via has_next_page and next_cursor with cursor chaining, and default sorting behavior. It also explains canonical parameter names and REST-layer aliases, giving the agent a clear behavioral model. No contradiction with the existing 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 front-loaded with the core purpose and default ranking, then moves through examples, alternative tools, and a compact parameter summary. Each sentence adds operational information, and there is no filler or wasted wording.

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?

It covers purpose, auth requirements, default behavior, pagination, parameter conventions, and sibling routing. Combined with a fully described input schema and an output schema, an agent has the information needed to select and call the tool correctly; the only omitted required param, rationale, is fully specified in the schema.

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 coverage is 100%, and the description's parameter summary largely restates what the input schema already documents for network, limit, cursor, sort_by, and sort_dir. It is a useful overview but adds little semantic meaning beyond the schema's detailed descriptions.

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, and scope: get top liquidity pools across an entire network, ranked by 24h volume by default. It further positions itself as the 'primary chain-wide pool discovery tool' and names the sibling tools that cover narrower cases, making sibling differentiation immediate.

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 concrete natural-language triggers ('biggest pools on ethereum', 'top trading pairs on Base', 'most active pools on Solana') and explicit routing guidance: narrow to one exchange with getDexPools, or apply numeric/time filters with getNetworkPoolsFilter. This is direct when-to-use and when-not-to-use instruction.

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