getNetworkDexes

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve available decentralized exchanges on a specific network. Specify network ID and optional pagination parameters.

Instructions

Get available DEXes on a specific network. REQUIRED: network. OPTIONAL: page, limit, sort_dir/sort, sort_by/order_by.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
networkYesREQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
pageNoOPTIONAL: Page number for pagination (default: 1, 1-indexed)
limitNoOPTIONAL: Number of items per page (default: 10, max: 100)
sort_dirNoOPTIONAL (preferred): Sort direction, 'asc' or 'desc' (default: 'desc')
sortNoOPTIONAL (deprecated alias of sort_dir): Sort direction
sort_byNoOPTIONAL (preferred): Field to sort by (only 'pool')
order_byNoOPTIONAL (deprecated alias of sort_by): Field to sort by
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.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds minimal behavioral context (e.g., parameter requirements) beyond what schema provides, but no new traits.

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?

Two concise sentences: first states purpose, second lists required and optional parameters. No filler, front-loaded with key information.

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 read-only list tool with comprehensive annotations and an output schema (not shown but present), the description adequately covers purpose and parameter roles. Additional context about pagination and sorting is clear.

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 each parameter already has a description. The tool description repeats the parameter names but adds no new meaning or constraints beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Get' and resource 'available DEXes on a specific network'. The tool name 'getNetworkDexes' directly indicates its function, distinguishing it from siblings like 'getDexPools' and 'getNetworkPools' that focus on pools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Description lists required and optional parameters, providing clear context for usage. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'getDexPools' or 'getNetworkPools'), leaving some ambiguity.

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