Eh, your choice. Most authors that might put somethig like that in the summary or tags are just casting a wide net for readers.

If the rest of the tags or the summary isn't obnoxious, I take a look at the first paragraph to make the assemment as to whether the story is a Pearl, Sturdily Competent, or Utter Crap.

That casting a wide net is another signal that the fic is going to be fucking pure shite though. That is how you get wall of tag spam, and it shoved into every category going and every character in it, or even thought about, being tagged. Writers that are happy to take the readers that come by and grow their fic by WoM are so much better than those who want their shite to show up in every search ever and crowd out the former type by their sheer volume of presence. That is why people are abandoning AO3 and going back to the pit of voles. Its harder to do the latter on the pit.

Sticking in a lot of unnecessary tags and having a fic show up in categories where it really doesn't belong isn't cool. But doing what you can to make sure the fic gets seen by the people who'd be interested in it isn't a bad thing. Wanting people to read what you've written doesn't make you a bad writer.

I don't know, this whole comment comes across a lot like all those arguments about how you can only be a "real" and "good" writer if you don't care about feedback and how writers should be eternally grateful for whatever scraps fandom happens to toss their way.
