getNetworkPools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find and rank liquidity pools across a blockchain by 24h volume to spot active trading pairs. Supports sorting and cursor pagination for chain-wide pool discovery.

Instructions

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. The first page works without an API key; paging with cursor needs a key (a free key pages without limit). 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

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; needs an API key (a free key pages without limit). Replaces the old page number.
`network`	Yes	REQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
`sort_by`	No	OPTIONAL (preferred): Field to sort by (default: 'volume_usd_24h'). Prefer the canonical *_24h names; short legacy names 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 (preferred): Sort direction (default: 'desc'). 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.

A4.6/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, but the description adds what they cannot: the auth model (first page works keyless; cursor paging requires a key, free key pages without limit) and the pagination contract (has_next_page/next_cursor). These are the operationally decisive facts for this tool.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action, output shape, and auth caveat before the sibling routing and parameter recap. The closing parameter summary is largely redundant with the schema, costing a point, but the rest is dense and waste-free.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be re-explained, yet the description still states the response envelope keys and the auth/paging prerequisite. Combined with sibling routing, nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is missing.

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 every parameter including the alias pairs and defaults. The trailing 'Params:' sentence mostly restates the schema rather than adding new semantics, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Get the top liquidity pools across a whole network') with explicit ranking default, and self-identifies as 'the primary chain-wide pool discovery tool'. It distinguishes itself from siblings by naming getDexPools (single exchange) and getNetworkPoolsFilter (numeric/time filters).

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 concrete invocation examples ('biggest pools on ethereum', 'top trading pairs on Base') plus explicit routing rules to the two closest alternatives with the condition that selects each. An agent can pick this tool over siblings without opening another schema.

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