Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world), so the bar is lower. The description adds genuinely useful non-annotation context: priced at $0.06/call over x402 on Base, prepaid x-credit-token header for unlimited calls, no free tier, no API key required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
