Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, etc. The description adds context about requiring an API key and returning an embedded resource. No contradictions, but no additional behavioral details (e.g., size limits, timeouts) are disclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
