Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but it only states a query outcome. It does not disclose that this is a read-only lookup, how the friends set is determined, whether it includes the current user, pagination behavior, or any restrictions. It gives no behavioral in every layer of the operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
