Normally the health checks are used by automated probers/health-checkers so the description is not needed there. I can see use-cases where the description is useful. The doc https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/health-checking.md provides the context for the current proto and the actual proto is https://github.com/grpc/grpc-proto/blob/master/grpc/health/v1/health.proto .
You may consider making a proposal and a contribution to add your enhancement.
