Assets
update_asset_metadata
Update name / description / tags on an existing asset. Omit a field to leave it unchanged. Pass null for description or tags to clear. `name` cannot be cleared; passing an empty string is a validation error. Requires editor role. Naturally idempotent — setting the same values N times matches setting them once.
