how Can I make a script that makes an object switch between 2 tags every 3 seconds?

The easiest and most straight forward solution would be using a coroutine like this:

void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(ChangeTag());
}

IEnumerator ChangeTag()
{
    var wait = new WaitForSeconds(3);
    while (true)
    {
        yield return wait;
        gameObject.tag = "tag1"; 
        yield return wait;
        gameObject.tag = "tag2"; 
    }
}

Since no one has answered I’ll take a stab at it. May not be the best answer but at the moment it is the only answer. I would use a coroutine.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class testSwap : MonoBehaviour {

	public bool changed;
	void Start() {
		changed = false;
		Debug.Log ("start");
		
		StartCoroutine(ChangeTag());
	}
	
	private IEnumerator ChangeTag(){
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
		if (gameObject.tag == "tag2"&& changed == false) {//one of your tags to toggle
			gameObject.tag = "tag1"; //the other tag you want to toggle
			changed = true;
			Debug.Log ("now tag1");

		}
		
		if (gameObject.tag == "tag1" && changed == false) {
			gameObject.tag = "tag2";
			Debug.Log ("now tag2");
			changed = true;

		}
		Start ();
		yield return null;
	}
}

Assign this script and play, you should have what you want, don’t forget to change interval.

using UnityEngine;

public class ChangeTag : MonoBehaviour
{
	public float interval;
	public string[] tags;

	private float _timer;
	private int _tagID = 0;

	void Update()
	{
		if (_timer >= interval)
		{
			_timer = 0;
			gameObject.tag = tags[_tagID];
			_tagID++;
			if (_tagID > tags.Length)
				_tagID = 0;
		}
		else
			_timer += Time.deltaTime;
	}
}
