Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context: the status enumeration, queue position semantics, active pipeline step, and estimated wait time. It also clarifies the api_key fallback to environment variable. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
