getTokenPools

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find liquidity pools that hold a specific token on a given network, with sorting and cursor paging for DEX venue analysis.

Instructions

Get the liquidity pools that contain a specific token on one network, 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). Use for 'which pools hold WETH on ethereum?' or 'liquidity venues for 0x...'. Network-scoped, so run search first if unsure of the network; unknown addresses return empty results, not an error. For the token's own price use getTokenDetails. Params: network (required); token_address (required); limit (default 10, max 100); cursor to page; sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', alias order_by); sort_dir asc/desc (default 'desc', alias sort). Extra params such as inversed or paired_token_address are unsupported and error.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoOPTIONAL: 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.
limitNoOPTIONAL: Number of items per page (default: 10, max: 100)
cursorNoOPTIONAL: 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.
addressNoUNSUPPORTED (deprecated alias of paired_token_address): passing it returns a structured error.
networkYesREQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
reorderNoUNSUPPORTED (deprecated alias of inversed): passing true returns a structured error.
sort_byNoOPTIONAL (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.
inversedNoUNSUPPORTED: the replacement endpoint has no pair-perspective flip. Passing true returns a structured error; invert prices client-side (1/price) instead.
order_byNoOPTIONAL: 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_dirNoOPTIONAL (preferred): Sort direction (default: 'desc'). The REST API calls this parameter sort.
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.
token_addressYesREQUIRED: Token contract address. Results are restricted to pools on the given network containing this token. Unknown addresses return empty results, not an error.
paired_token_addressNoUNSUPPORTED: the replacement endpoint cannot filter by a second token. Passing it returns a structured error; filter results[].tokens client-side for pair queries.

  7. First observed

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, and the description adds genuinely new behavior: first page works without an API key, cursor paging requires a key, unknown addresses return empty results rather than an error, and unsupported params produce a structured error. It also discloses the response envelope (results, has_next_page, next_cursor).

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 behavior and response shape, then usage, then auth, then params. It is dense and somewhat long, with several parenthetical asides, but each sentence carries distinct information rather than filler.

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 13-parameter, 3-required tool with an output schema and full annotations, the description covers purpose, scope, auth/paging, error semantics, and alternatives. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly 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%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds useful orientation: required vs optional, defaults (limit 10/max 100, sort_by 'volume_usd_24h', sort_dir 'desc'), alias mappings, and the explicit warning that extra params like inversed or paired_token_address error out. Most of this mirrors the schema, so it is additive but not transformative.

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 with scope: pools containing a specific token on one network. This clearly separates it from siblings like getNetworkPools (all pools on a network), getPoolDetails (single pool) and getTokenDetails (token price), so an agent can route correctly without opening schemas.

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 example queries ('which pools hold WETH on ethereum?'), states the network-scoping precondition with an explicit remedy ('run search first if unsure of the network'), and names the alternative tool for a related need ('For the token's own price use getTokenDetails').

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