Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds substantial behavioral context: recovery requests never reveal whether a reservation matched, the confirmation is sent only to the already-on-file email with no recipient override, and email changes are handled at a specific URL. These details go beyond the annotations and meaningfully inform the agent about side effects and privacy constraints. No contradiction exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
