• Astro Python SDK: 0.11.0
• Astro Python SDK: main

Describe the bug
During the last couple of hours, we started getting the error:

         File "/home/runner/work/astro-sdk/astro-sdk/.nox/type_check-3-8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/config/pyprojecttoml.py", line 301, in _ensure_previously_set
          raise OptionError(msg)
      distutils.errors.DistutilsOptionError: No configuration found for dynamic 'description'.
      Some dynamic fields need to be specified via `tool.setuptools.dynamic`
      others must be specified via the equivalent attribute in `setup.py`.
      [end of output]

When running the following command:

python -m pip install -e '.[all]' f

In unchanged branches, just by retriggering the job to run in the CI.

To Reproduce
