   The primary input is the "Asset Path" field. Users need to provide the asset path for the targeted asset.
2. **Execution:**

   The node efficiently updates asset size and file date information in the Cosmo database based on the specified file path.

**Benefits:**

* Provides a streamlined process for updating asset information in response to dynamic file changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
