Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It adds a return type indicator and billing cost, and 'localized' hints at locale-dependent behavior. However, it does not explicitly state read-only safety, error handling, or which locale is used, leaving a moderate transparency gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
