Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint=false, so safety is covered; the description adds real context beyond that: newest-first ordering, pagination via a call_ref from the previous page, and how to interpret the direction and from fields on inbound calls. It does not discuss whether the full history or only a recent window is available, which is the one remaining behavioral unknown.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
