after doing some digging, it seems that you cannot add new tags that way, only set existing ones,

unfortunately I don't have to time right now to dig any deeper,

sorry,

anyhow. It's a block right? I think you can just use the tag block controller.

Loader::block('tags');
$tags_block_controller = new TagsBlockController();
$pg = Page::getCurrentPage();
$args['targetCID'] = $pg->getCollectionID();
$args['title'] = 'Tag Name';
//I'm not sure if you need this.
Loader::model('attribute/categories/collection');
$ak = CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('tags');
$nvc = $pg->getVersionToModify();
$ak->saveAttributeForm($nvc);
$nvc->refreshCache();
// I don't know how cloudCount works
// I'm sure you can figure it out though
// Its optional i think(defaults to 10)
// $args['cloudCount']

EDIT: Actually save uses a $_REQUEST call so we'll h_might_ have to baby sit that. See changes above.

The tags block uses a database table to keep track of tags so I don't think you can just go through setAttribute without also adding to that table. Which is why it's probably less of a headache to just go through the controllers save method.

I didn't test this at all.
