getNetworkPools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve top liquidity pools across a blockchain network, ranked by 24h volume, to identify biggest trading pairs and active pools.

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 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. 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.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context beyond this: the tool is 'keyless', returns results under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor, and defaults to 24h volume ranking. No contradictions with 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 compact and front-loaded: purpose, response shape, key property, usage examples, alternatives, then parameter essentials. Every sentence contributes actionable information without unnecessary repetition or padding.

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 the tool's moderate complexity, rich annotations, full schema coverage, and presence of an output schema, the description is complete: it covers scope, use cases, exclusions, defaults, pagination, aliases, and keyless access. No critical selection or invocation context is missing.

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%, and the description adds practical guidance about aliases, preferred names, defaults, and pagination cursor usage. It omits the required 'rationale' parameter from its summary, but the schema documents that fully; overall the description adds meaningful semantic value beyond the raw 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?

The description clearly states the tool gets 'top liquidity pools across a whole network', specifies default ranking by 24h volume, and identifies itself as 'the primary chain-wide pool discovery tool'. It is sharply distinguished from siblings like getDexPools and getNetworkPoolsFilter.

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?

Explicit usage guidance is provided with concrete natural-language examples ('biggest pools on ethereum', 'top trading pairs on Base', 'most active pools on Solana'). It also names alternatives: narrow to one exchange with getDexPools, or use filters with getNetworkPoolsFilter.

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