Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and non-destructive, so the safety profile is largely covered; the description's 'Read-only, no side effects' is partly redundant. It does add non-annotation context — 'no authentication' and 'returns public metadata' — which meaningfully informs invocation. Minor overlap keeps it from a 5.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
