Add assets to an entity

This method adds assets to the specified entity within an entity collection. Assets are used to identify the entity in media content, and adding multiple assets can improve the accuracy of entity recognition in searches.

When assets are added, the entity may temporarily enter the "processing" state while the platform updates the necessary data. Once processing is complete, the entity status will return to "ready."
