You need to use CartoDBFormat, not EmptyFormat in the source specification in directory.json in pelagos-api. You should use it in the workspace too, but this is not mandatory.
description and descriptionUrl are not used any more and are ignored if present.
Some lookups might be slow. We might want to show descriptions as they come in in the layer library.
description for cartodb layers can be json, html or a url to a json file
layer info for a tileset is in /info and must be json
There is currently no info for the Bathymetry layer
Rendering of json
title is displayed at the top, in h1, if present
description is displayed right under the title, in p, if present
all other fields are put into a two-column table of name/value pairs
values must be either html, "Title http://url" or a pure string
