Folder or UDT at path?

Ignition

I'm trying to find out if there is a more direct way to be able to enter a tagpath and find out if that path is pointing to a tag, udt, or folder.

Currently I am achieving this by using rsplit on the provided path to get the path to the parent node and then using system.tag.browse on that parent path using a filter of the remainder of the provided tag name:

providedPath = [some]path/provided/to/a/folder/maybe
parent = providedPath.rsplit("/",1)
res = system.tag.browse(parent[0], {"name":parent[1]})
if str(res[0]['tagType']) == 'UdtInstance':
	print "foo"
elif str(res[0]['tagType']) == 'Folder':
	print "bar"

This is functional, but I'm going to have a lot of these queries going on and this seems massively inefficient. Is there a way to get informaition about the node at the provided path instead of its children?

str(system.tag.readBlocking(["path/to/tag.tagType"])[0].value) == "Folder"?

Thank you! I knew I was missing something obvious and had overly complicated things.
