Are you trying to add a description to a tag? If so you are using the wrong API. The one you are using is to add tags to entities, like hive tables.

To add a description to a tag you need to use /v2/types/typedefs (POST to add a new tag and PUT to edit an existing one )- see https://atlas.apache.org/api/v2/ui/index.html#!/TypesREST/resource_TypesREST_createAtlasTypeDefs_POS...

{
  "classificationDefs":[
    {
      "createdBy": "admin",
      "name": "test_tag_name",
      "description": "Description of your tag",
      "attributeDefs": [
          {
            "name":"attribute_name_1",
            "typeName":"string",
            "isOptional":"true",
            "isUnique":"false",
            "isIndexable":"true",
            "cardinality":"SINGLE"
          },
		  {
            "name":"attribute_name_2",
            "typeName":"string",
            "isOptional":"true",
            "isUnique":"false",
            "isIndexable":"true",
            "cardinality":"SINGLE"
          },
		  {
            "name":"update_date",
            "typeName":"date",
            "isOptional":"true",
            "isUnique":"false",
            "isIndexable":"true",
            "cardinality":"SINGLE"
          }],
     "superTypes": []
    }
  ]
}

If you want to change something you need to use PUT. Use POST to add new tags.
