Slot: Tool Description (tool_description)

One-line tool description (from the tool's dht env var or equivalent).

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

A one-line description lets a reader understand what the tool does without leaving the record or resolving the tool name against external documentation. Omitting it costs readability, not reproducibility.

In plain terms

A short plain-language note on the tool's job, for example "extracts daily temperature for a list of addresses". It saves the reader a lookup elsewhere.
