Using the recommended format of writing tests using pm.test, you can check if the object is empty.

pm.test('The args should be empty', function () {
  pm.expect(jsonData.args).to.eql({});
});

In addition to what @singhsivcan mentioned, you should also look into using the new Postman testing format (see the Snippets for a quick start).

The following assertion will work using eql :

pm.expect({a: 1}).to.eql({a: 1})

If you want to confirm an object was returned, you could do this with the following:

pm.test("Expect 'args' to be an object", function() {
    pm.expect(jsonData.args).to.be.an("object");
});

I can see you’re using the “old” syntax to write tests, so I’m guessing this could be done with the following - I haven’t used this syntax in over a year so it could be wrong:

tests["Expect 'args' to be an object"] = typeof jsonData.args === "object";
