Around 21% of the calories in dried egg yolk come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
Among the 20 eggs in the database, dried egg yolk ranks 5th by protein per serving, and 313th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against duck egg, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.7 g more protein (duck egg has 9 g per 1 egg).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is measured by weight at 28.4 g. The per-100 g figure lets you compare it directly against any other food here, whatever its serving.
