Description
Probably expand https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/api/api.html#galaxy.webapps.galaxy.api.tool_shed_repositories.ToolShedRepositoriesController.install to add an argument for tags, the tags would be applied to all included tools during writing to the XML file. Useful for making "new" tools as such.
