Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior, and the description adds valuable behavioral details beyond that: decimals/symbol are read live from the contract to avoid magnitude errors, ENS is only trusted with two-resolver agreement, unsupported chains are refused, and the call costs 0.002 USDC. This gives an agent confidence in correctness and cost.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
