### Your question
Hey! I am starting to explore Salesforce Hosted MCP and have been testing the available tools.
One thing I ran into: **I am not sure what the intended mechanism is for surfacing a field's `Description` to an AI agent for additional context.**
**What I did:**
- I tested tool calling `getObjectSchema` and it does not return `Description` as part of the response payload.
- I then queried `FieldDefinition` directly via the SOQL tool and confirmed the data is there and accessible.
So my question is: is querying `FieldDefinition` ad-hoc the intended pattern here (whether via a custom tool, a skill file, or similar)? Or not really? `Description` is where admins document a field's business intent - essentially a data dictionary - so I am trying to understand how that is meant to reach the agent in a hosted MCP workflow, or whether it is at all.
Thanks in advance!
