Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains the level grading history (NULL meaning 'not graded', never 'Beginner'), the fact that content is human-edited, and the exact handling of null values. This goes well beyond the readOnlyHint and idempotentHint annotations, giving the agent critical interpretation guidance. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
