Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes this as a safe read operation, and the description adds no behavioral context beyond that. It does not disclose return format, whether settings are cached or live, or any auth/permission requirements, so it is largely redundant with the annotation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
