evm_getmultipletokenprices

Retrieve current or historical prices for multiple ERC20 tokens in native blockchain currency and USD, including metadata, logos, and spam status.

Instructions

Retrieve the current or historical prices for multiple ERC20 tokens in the blockchain’s native currency and USD. Accepts an array of up to 100 tokens, each requiring token_address and optional fields such as to_block or exchange. Each token returned includes on-chain metadata, as well as off-chain metadata, logos, spam status and more. Additional options to exclude low-liquidity tokens and inactive tokens.

Input Schema

includeNoThis parameter is now deprecated as percentage change are included by default
max_token_inactivityNoExclude tokens inactive for more than the given amount of days
min_pair_side_liquidity_usdNoExclude tokens with liquidity less than the specified amount in USD. This parameter refers to the liquidity on a single side of the pair.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: it's a read operation (implied by 'retrieve'), supports up to 100 tokens (though the schema says 30), includes metadata and spam status, and offers filtering options. However, it lacks details on rate limits, error handling, authentication needs, or response format, which are significant gaps for a tool with no annotation coverage.

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 reasonably concise and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence. However, it could be more structured: the second sentence mixes parameter details with return value information, and the token limit is inconsistent (100 in description vs. 30 in schema). Most sentences earn their place, but there's minor redundancy and disorganization.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's moderate complexity (5 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is partially complete. It covers the purpose, basic usage, and some behavioral aspects, but lacks output format details, error handling, and explicit differentiation from siblings. Without annotations or output schema, the agent must infer behavior, leaving gaps in understanding the full tool context.

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 schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds marginal value by mentioning 'optional fields such as `to_block` or `exchange`' and 'Additional options to exclude low-liquidity tokens and inactive tokens,' which loosely map to parameters but don't provide syntax or format details beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Retrieve the current or historical prices for multiple ERC20 tokens in the blockchain’s native currency and USD.' It specifies the verb ('retrieve'), resource ('prices for multiple ERC20 tokens'), and scope ('current or historical'), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'evm_gettokenmetadata' or 'solana_getmultipletokenprices' beyond the multi-token focus.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for price retrieval of multiple tokens, with optional historical data via 'to_block' and exchange filtering. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'evm_gettokenmetadata' for single tokens or 'evm_gettopcryptocurrenciesbymarketcap' for aggregated data, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions beyond the optional filters for low-liquidity/inactive tokens.

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