MVC validators like required field etc..are they c# attributes?

I was learning C# attributes, I have one doubt that whether MVC validators are example of attributes or not ? I think they are.
As i learned attributes are for description of element. We can create custom attributes which can give description for a element(method,class etc.) This is the us of attributes as per my understanding. Is that correct? Is there any other use for attributes?
If MVC require filed validator is a attribute how does that works? i mean how the code has written in atribute.It is doing more than providing help information so how is that works ?

You can create your own custom attributes. Generally, data annotations are customized to suit your needs.

Try
Custom Validation Attribute in ASP.NET MVC3[^]
ASP.NET MVC Custom Compare Data Annotation with Client Validation[^]
MVC 4: Custom Validation Data Annotation Attribute[^]
