Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the bar is lower. The description adds useful context about the recovery use case and single-item scope, but it does not disclose return format, error behavior, or prerequisites. It adds some value without fully describing behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
