Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavior beyond annotations: results are ordered newest first, are scoped to the account, and use cursor pagination.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
