Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds valuable behavior beyond that: it states the result is passed 'sans le modifier' (without modification) and, without MCP Apps support, it returns the same structured result as text. This gives the agent knowledge of input-output symmetry and fallback behavior, which annotations do not cover.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
