getTopTokens

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve top tokens on a blockchain network ranked by volume, liquidity, FDV, transactions, or price change. Paginate through results with next_cursor.

Instructions

Get the top tokens on one network ranked by volume, liquidity, transactions, FDV, or 24h price change, returned under 'results' with has_next_page and next_cursor. Read-only and keyless. Use for 'top gainers on Solana', 'highest-volume tokens on Base', or 'biggest tokens by FDV on ethereum'. For arbitrary numeric filters or a time window use filterNetworkTokens instead. Params: network (required slug); limit (default 50, max 100); cursor (pass previous next_cursor to page); sort_by (default 'volume_usd_24h', alias order_by), noting that ranking by raw price is unsupported and silently falls back to volume; sort_dir asc/desc (default 'desc', alias sort).

Input Schema

TableJSON 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: 50, max: 100)
cursorNoOPTIONAL: Pagination cursor. Pass `next_cursor` from a previous response to fetch the next page. Replaces the old page number.
networkYesREQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana')
sort_byNoOPTIONAL (preferred): Field to sort by (default: 'volume_usd_24h'). Prefer the canonical names; short legacy names are still accepted. The REST API calls this parameter order_by.
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.

Behavior5/5

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

Expands beyond annotations: notes keyless access, pagination response format, and the critical caveat that sorting by raw price silently falls back to volume. Annotations already cover idempotent/read-only; description adds operational detail.

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?

Concise yet comprehensive: first sentence states purpose, second gives usage guidance, third details parameters. No extraneous text; information is front-loaded.

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?

Covers all aspects: purpose, parameters, pagination, caveats, and alternative tool. Output schema exists so return format is adequately summarized. No gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Despite 100% schema coverage, description adds value: explains aliases (sort->sort_dir, order_by->sort_by), default/max for limit, cursor usage, and the price sorting fallback. Schema alone doesn't provide this context.

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?

Clearly states the tool retrieves top tokens ranked by various metrics (volume, liquidity, etc.) and gives concrete examples ('top gainers on Solana'). Distinguishes from sibling filterNetworkTokens.

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?

Explicitly says when to use (top tokens by specific metrics) and when not to (arbitrary numeric filters or time window), directing to filterNetworkTokens. Also mentions read-only and keyless.

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