# Known limitations

> What Hive does not do, and where coverage is thinner than you might expect.

Worth knowing before you build on it.

## Official endpoints only

Every provider is accessed through its documented public API. Hive does not scrape sites or
use reverse-engineered private endpoints.

That makes coverage narrower in places than competitors who do scrape, and considerably more
stable. A scraped source breaks without warning when the site changes; a documented API
deprecates on a schedule.

## Little LLM-searchable data

Hive does not serve social sentiment, trend scores, or web summaries. Your model already
searches the web better than an API wrapper would, and putting a stale caching layer between
your agent and an open web source makes the answer worse.

News is the exception: `get_news` returns CoinGecko's article feed with title, description,
URL, author and publication date, filterable by coin, and `get_coin_insights` returns
CoinGecko's research notes on an Enterprise plan. Both are ordinary credentialed tools that
cost a credit like any other.

What Hive is for is what a model cannot get any other way: live market state, on-chain data,
and contract risk.

## Raw datapoints, not opinions

There are no buy signals, price predictions, or risk verdicts. Hive returns the inputs and
your agent forms the judgment. Where a datapoint is questionable, that shows up as a field
like `is_price_suspect` rather than the row being filtered out.

## Coverage varies by chain

EVM chains and Solana have the deepest coverage. Other chains vary by provider and by data
type. A tool existing does not guarantee it covers your chain; ask, or check the category page.

## Portfolio values are estimates

A portfolio total is assembled from per-asset prices fetched at slightly different moments.
Thin tokens may be marked at prices you could not actually realize. Treat totals as
indicative.

## Anonymous lane is for evaluation

25 material calls per IP per day is enough to judge whether Hive fits. It is not a production
tier, and it is capped per IP, so shared networks share the allowance.

## Some provider endpoints are Pro-gated upstream

DeFiLlama's perpetual and derivatives endpoints need a DeFiLlama Pro subscription, and so do its
Pro yield extensions. Those calls return `plan_required` or `missing_key` rather than data. For
perpetual funding, use the CCXT tools instead, and check exact arguments with
`get_api_endpoint_schema` first.

## Docs counts can lag deployment

Tool counts in these docs describe the current release. The deployed catalog is the
authority, and [live catalog](/tools/live-catalog) shows what is actually there.
