Create a tagging folder action

I’m trying to set up a folder action using automator that will add a tag to anything put in that folder (in this case I know every file I add to a particular folder should be tagged with “Geometry”). The closest I seem to come is the “Label Finder Items” tool which doesn’t seem to be aware that labels in Mavericks can be something other than the 7 colors, or writing an AppleScript, and I haven’t a clue where to start on that one since I’ve yet to figure out how to get applescript to do this labeling either, especially in the context of a folder action. Any ideas?

Hello.

The AppleScript dictionary of Finder says “NOT AVAILABLE YET” …

I have made a command line tool that uses file labels from the command line, but then I only used colours, as this was before Mavericks. I’ll be sure to post an update here, when or if I upgrade it to use text labels.

Much as I feared…

Thanks!
