Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world behavior, so the bar is lower. The description still adds useful context beyond them: prices and availability are refreshed server-side, and listing links open the external Zero to Hundred website — behavior an agent could not infer from structured fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
