Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive and closed-world, so the lower bar applies. The description still adds real value: sort direction, output shape ('briefs as in search_businesses'), the 50-item cap, and cost/rate limit (free, 100 calls/day without a key).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
