Hi!.  
I'm testing the "**system.tag.query()**" function for a **Remote Tag Provider** , but it always **returns 0**. Instead, **system.tag.browse()** works fine.

~~Your `condition.attributes` query might be limiting the results, if you remove the `attributes` portion, does it give you the results you expect?~~

I was wrong. I wasn't pointed at my remote provider when testing initially. I'm seeing the same result

Is the gateway hosting your remote provider new enough to support `system.tag.query`? The code certainly implies it should work to remote gateways.

You should probably take this to support.
