Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the safe read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world profile. The description goes beyond them by disclosing that it consults stored history only (no live fetch, no model call) and by warning that a missing result is not a zero — genuinely useful interpretation guidance the agent would otherwise guess wrong about.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
