Schema notes
The canonical MSP-1 v1.0.1 form for description may be either a concise string or a structured object with short as the required field.
description should not be confused with name, intent, or interpretiveFrame. name labels the resource; description summarizes what it is; intent explains why it exists or how it should be used; interpretiveFrame guides contextual interpretation.
