Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: long-polling mechanics, the 1..8 batch limit, timeout default/max, and the poll_after_seconds retry hint.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
