I’m just simply tapping an untapped creature. You are almost completely correct. A creature that has “summoning sickness” cannot attack or activate abilities that have or in their costs. A summoning sick creature can tap to activate its own ability that asks for something to be tapped.
Are creatures summoned tapped?
The only time a creature will enter the battlefield tapped is if the creature card explicitly states that it needs to enter tapped or if another card effect makes it enter tapped. Creatures enter the battlefield with “summoning sickness” which means they cant attack on thier first turn unless they have haste.
Does summoning sickness prevent tap abilities?
Summoning Sickness is what a creature has directly after it is cast onto the battlefield from a player’s hand, graveyard, exile, and command zone; and means that the creature is neither able to attack nor use its tap ability that turn.

Can you tap creature first turn?
Creatures represent people or beasts that are summoned to the battlefield to attack opposing creatures or players and defend their controller from the attacks of enemy creatures. They normally cannot attack or use an ability with the “tap symbol” on the first turn they enter the battlefield.
