API - GET concise list of tags

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm unable to determine the name of particular tags/groups through the API.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to retrieve a list of defined tags/groups with concise data similar to the GET request to list watches. They can be indexed by UUID and at a minimum include the tag/group name.

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples
I want to assign new watches created through the API to a particular group by name, and don't want to hardcode those UUIDs in my app.

Additional context
It looks like the tag field can be used to assign to a tag/group by name on POST, so my immediate use case is not an issue; I'd still like to see the API built out in this way.

Hello, yes this is missing! thanks for the report!

If the data associated with tags isn't too big, I'd encourage you to return a list of canonical representations of each tag object. Using a concise representation on the bare GET request on the watch endpoint makes sense to keep the size of the response down, but it does break an expectation that we'd receive canonical watch objects which requires some custom handling on receipt. That may not be a necessary consideration for a tag endpoint.

We can just add ?tag=uuid to curl http://localhost:5000/api/v1/watch -H"x-api-key:813031b16330fe25e3780cf0325daa45"

        @api {get} /api/v1/watch List watches
        @apiDescription Return concise list of available watches and some very basic info
        @apiExample {curl} Example usage:
            curl http://localhost:5000/api/v1/watch -H"x-api-key:813031b16330fe25e3780cf0325daa45"

Aswell as a tags API endpoint (crud)
