In `@docs/mcp-annotations-decisions.md`:
- Around line 107-124: Revise the enforcement-guarantees section to accurately
reflect that Descriptor.Annotations is optional and omitting an annotation
helper still compiles, and update TestToolAnnotationsValueAssertions to assert
IdempotentHint=false for every purchase action before claiming A5 is enforced
automatically.
In `@mcp/annotations_test.go`:
- Around line 74-79: Update the test around allDescriptors and the live
ListTools results to assert equal tool counts, then validate each live tool has
a matching descriptor before comparing annotations; retain the existing
descriptor-side annotation comparison and use the descriptor registry as the
source for the matching metadata.
- Around line 94-106: Extend the annotation assertions in the test around the
purchase-action branch to require purchase tools to have IdempotentHint=false
and OpenWorldHint=true, and add role-specific expectations for the catalog tool
requiring OpenWorldHint=false. Ensure the checks validate the expected
descriptor values independently of registration so matching incorrect values
cannot pass.

Address 3 CodeRabbit findings on PR #1884: - TestToolAnnotationsMatchDescriptor only checked that every Descriptor had a live match; a tool registered outside the Descriptor/Register contract could carry unsafe annotations and this test would stay green. Now asserts equal tool counts and that every live tool also has a matching Descriptor, in both directions. - TestToolAnnotationsValueAssertions only checked ReadOnlyHint/ DestructiveHint for purchase tools and that OpenWorldHint/ DestructiveHint were non-nil, not their actual values. A tool could set IdempotentHint=true or OpenWorldHint=false (or the catalog tool OpenWorldHint=true) and still pass as long as Descriptor and the live registration agreed on the same wrong value. Now asserts the concrete required value per role (purchase/search/catalog), derived from Descriptor.Action rather than a tool-name list. - docs/mcp-annotations-decisions.md claimed omitting an annotation helper "fails to compile", which is false: Descriptor.Annotations is a plain optional pointer field, so the guarantee is enforced by the test suite above, not the compiler. Reworded to match.

test to assert IdempotentHint is false, alongside their existing ReadOnlyHint

Set ReadOnlyHint/DestructiveHint/IdempotentHint/OpenWorldHint and a human Title on all 11 tools via two new Descriptor-building helpers (readOnlyAnnotations, purchaseAnnotations). The go-sdk defaults nil DestructiveHint/OpenWorldHint pointers to true on the wire, so leaving Annotations unset was silently publishing "destructive, open-world, not read-only" for the two read-only tools. Annotations are also a hard submission gate for both the Anthropic and OpenAI MCP directories -- this is Phase A of the MCP store-readiness workstream. Adds a drift test (live ListTools annotations must match each tool's Descriptor) and a table-driven value-assertion test derived from Descriptor.Action so a future purchase tool can't skip destructiveHint by omission. Rationale for destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false on every purchase tool is recorded in docs/mcp-annotations-decisions.md (no ADR convention exists in this repo yet). Closes #1882

Reworded to match.
CR round 2: the search and catalog branches of TestToolAnnotationsValueAssertions checked ReadOnlyHint/DestructiveHint/ OpenWorldHint but not IdempotentHint, even though readOnlyAnnotations sets it to false for both. A future change setting it to true in both Descriptor and the live registration would still pass.
