coingeckotokeninfoagent_get_tokens_by_category

Retrieve detailed cryptocurrency token data by category using the CoinGecko API. Access prices, market caps, trading volumes, and price changes sorted by user-defined parameters such as market cap or volume.

Instructions

Get a list of tokens within a specific category. This tool retrieves token data for all cryptocurrencies that belong to a particular category, including price, market cap, volume, and price changes.

Implementation Reference

  • Generic MCP tool handler that parses the prefixed tool name (e.g., 'coingeckotokeninfoagent_get_tokens_by_category'), extracts agent_id and tool_name, proxies the execution to the remote Mesh API via execute_tool, and returns the result as TextContent.
    @app.call_tool()
    async def call_tool(name: str, arguments: dict) -> List[types.TextContent]:
        """Call the specified tool with the given arguments."""
        try:
            if name not in self.tool_registry:
                raise ValueError(f"Unknown tool: {name}")
    
            tool_info = self.tool_registry[name]
            result = await self.execute_tool(
                agent_id=tool_info["agent_id"],
                tool_name=tool_info["tool_name"],
                tool_arguments=arguments,
            )
    
            # Convert result to TextContent
            return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))]
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error calling tool {name}: {e}")
            raise ValueError(f"Failed to call tool {name}: {str(e)}") from e
  • Dynamic tool registration logic: constructs the exact tool name format '{agent_id.lower()}_{tool_name}' (matching 'coingeckotokeninfoagent_get_tokens_by_category') from remote metadata and stores schema, description in tool_registry used by MCP server.
    if not tool_name:
        continue
    
    # Create a unique tool ID
    tool_id = f"{agent_id.lower()}_{tool_name}"
    
    # Get parameters or create default schema
    parameters = function_data.get("parameters", {})
    if not parameters:
        parameters = {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {},
            "required": [],
        }
    
    # Store tool info
    tool_registry[tool_id] = {
        "agent_id": agent_id,
        "tool_name": tool_name,
        "description": function_data.get("description", ""),
        "parameters": parameters,
    }
  • MCP list_tools implementation that exposes the dynamically registered tools including their inputSchema from remote metadata.
    @app.list_tools()
    async def list_tools() -> List[types.Tool]:
        """List all available tools."""
        return [
            types.Tool(
                name=tool_id,
                description=tool_info["description"],
                inputSchema=tool_info["parameters"],
            )
            for tool_id, tool_info in self.tool_registry.items()
        ]
  • Hardcoded list of supported agents that includes 'CoinGeckoTokenInfoAgent', enabling tools from this agent (prefix 'coingeckotokeninfoagent_') such as the target tool.
    DEFAULT_AGENTS = [
        "CoinGeckoTokenInfoAgent",
        "DexScreenerTokenInfoAgent",
        "ElfaTwitterIntelligenceAgent",
        "ExaSearchAgent",
        "TwitterInfoAgent",
        "AIXBTProjectInfoAgent",
        "EtherscanAgent",
        "EvmTokenInfoAgent",
        "FundingRateAgent",
        "UnifaiTokenAnalysisAgent",
        "YahooFinanceAgent",
        "ZerionWalletAnalysisAgent"
    ]
  • Helper function that performs the actual remote API call to execute the tool on the specified agent, used by the handler.
    async def execute_tool(
        self, agent_id: str, tool_name: str, tool_arguments: Dict[str, Any]
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Execute a tool on a mesh agent.
    
        Args:
            agent_id: ID of the agent to execute the tool on
            tool_name: Name of the tool to execute
            tool_arguments: Arguments to pass to the tool
    
        Returns:
            Tool execution result
    
        Raises:
            ToolExecutionError: If there's an error executing the tool
        """
        request_data = {
            "agent_id": agent_id,
            "input": {"tool": tool_name, "tool_arguments": tool_arguments},
        }
    
        # Add API key if available
        if Config.HEURIST_API_KEY:
            request_data["api_key"] = Config.HEURIST_API_KEY
    
        try:
            result = await call_mesh_api(
                "mesh_request", method="POST", json=request_data
            )
            return result.get("data", result)  # Prefer the 'data' field if it exists
        except MeshApiError as e:
            # Re-raise API errors with clearer context
            raise ToolExecutionError(str(e)) from e
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error calling {agent_id} tool {tool_name}: {e}")
            raise ToolExecutionError(

            ) from e
