Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the auth requirement (privatemessages scope) and the read-only nature through the verb 'Get.' It does not mention rate limits or explicit no-side-effect statements, but for a simple retrieval tool this is adequate and adds meaningful context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
