Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful beyond-annotation context by explicitly listing what is never returned (QR codes, secrets, API keys, proxy addresses, org ids, stored metadata), which helps the agent understand the tool's safety boundary and not expect sensitive fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
