1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured:
to receive, over a first communication channel from an orchestrator entity, at least one command specifying one or more actions to take involving an endpoint device, the one or more actions comprising at least one of writing data to a tag of a tag bridge device and reading data from the tag of the tag bridge device, the first communication channel utilizing a wireless network connection;
to establish a second communication channel between a tag interface of the at least one processing device and the tag bridge device, the second communication channel utilizing a first type of wired interface; and
to relay the at least one command to the tag of the tag bridge device over the second communication channel, wherein the tag bridge device, when plugged in to a port of the endpoint device, relays the at least one command from the tag to the endpoint device over a third communication channel, the third communication channel utilizing a second type of wired interface, the second type of wired interface being different than the first type of wired interface.
