Nowadays, tag "description" have no any influence in SEO.
But, is informative for users as is visible in search results under the title.
So, keep it informative and optimize only for users.

Only if you want to rank the categories.

It helps your visitors to quickly know about the categories, so try to make it short and crispy it will increase the session time of visitors, it also helps in reducing the bounce rate of the website.

It helps establish context but given how Google updated their algo, you're better off with DOMAIN/KEYWORD-SPECIFIC-URL
