--------------------------+-----------------------
 The `wp_sidebar_description()` function is for retrieving and sanitizing a
 sidebar description as passed to `register_sidebar()`. This allows a
 subset of markup to be allowed as dictated by `wp_kses()`.

 The REST API should return the description as generated by
 `wp_sidebar_description()` and not by accessing the `$registered_sidebar`
 global directly.
