Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond those annotations: sanitized JSON output, deterministic safety receipts, and a specific price of 0.01 USDC on Base. It omits payment mechanics and rate limits, but it adds meaningful context for a read-only external-data tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
