What OAuth scope does a service account API token need to read Assets objects via REST?

I'm using an Atlassian service account with an API token to read Jira Service Management data. Reading work items works fine using the https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudId} base URL.
However, when I try to read an Assets object via:
GET https://api.atlassian.com/ex/jira/{cloudId}/jsm/assets/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/{objectId}
I get:
401 Unauthorized; scope does not match
When I set up the token scopes, I can only find the standard Jira scopes (read:jira-user, read:jira-work, read:servicedesk-request) — none of which seem to cover Assets.
I'm a bit stuck on how to proceed. Which scope do I need to add to the token so the service account can read Assets objects? And where do I find it when configuring the token's scopes?
Thanks in advance.
