Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: pricing model ($0.003/call, 10 free/day, x402 options), empty-account handling as reclaimable rent, and isError semantics for invalid input or upstream failure (not charged). This is more than the annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
