Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden, and it usefully discloses that the result includes both outgoing and incoming links, implying a read-only lookup. However, it does not describe the output format, pagination, error behavior, or how the two link directions are represented.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
