Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true), so the bar is lower. The description adds genuinely non-redundant behavior: it does NOT run JavaScript, submit forms, create a RegSentry record, or make legal determinations, and it explicitly notes 'runtime-verification gaps' — meaningful caveats about what the fetch will and won't reveal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
