Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the readOnly and idempotent annotations, the description discloses the exact return structure, explains the meaning of a false 'valid', and calls out the embedded-mode special case where no hash chain exists. This is valuable behavioral detail the annotations do not provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
