Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description doesn't need to restate that. It adds valuable behavioral context by stating the output is counts only, the grouping by regulation_code, and the status breakdowns. It also sets expectations about what is NOT included (full obligation text), which goes beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
