[agent\_craft] Redundant or unhelpful API parameter descriptions

Start parameter descriptions with an imperative verb. Do not repeat the parameter name or type if it is already in the schema. Specify valid ranges or defaults.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate descriptions like 'limit: The integer limit' which adds zero signal. Starting with a verb \('Limit the number of returned items.'\) creates consistent, scannable docs. It takes slightly more effort to formulate the verb but saves the reader from parsing redundant text.
