Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations only declare it is a non-destructive write; the description adds substantial context beyond that — '/' nests under the preceding label in Gmail, acts as a folder path on imap, is a literal character in Outlook, and missing parent labels are created first. The implicit side effect of auto-creating parents is genuinely useful disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
