Get DeFi yield pool rates from DeFiLlama across 1,000+ protocols and all chains: pools sorted by APY with TVL, base/reward APY, and 7d/30d mean APY context, filterable by protocol, chain, min TVL, min/max APY, and symbol. Returns up to 50 pools. For protocol-specific lending comparisons (Aave vs Compound) prefer get_lending_rates.
Use when: Use for broad cross-protocol yield discovery. Call at most once per request — filter with min_apy, max_apy, min_tvl_usd, and symbols_any in a single call, then sort client-side rather than re-calling. For protocol-specific rate questions use get_lending_rates.
Limitations: Third-party DeFiLlama analytics; up to 50 pools per call. The `symbol` field lists underlying tokens (e.g. 'ETH-USDC') — filter client-side instead of re-calling with different arguments. Reward APY indicates reward-dependent yield; do not present spot APY as durable.
Alternatives: get_lending_rates, get_protocol_tvl, get_token_price
