| `engine.execute` | `{command, params?}` | The command's result. Every engine command (`effectcraft-cli commands`) runs exactly as it does headless, so it never opens a dialog: `comp.new {}` creates a default comp. UI-only ids (`tool.*`, `view.*`, `window.*`, `playback.*`, `timeline.*`, `app.*`) fall through to the menu dispatcher. Unknown top-level params are rejected, and the error lists the accepted keys. |
| `ui.menu.invoke` | `{id, params?}` | Like a menu click: commands with empty params may open their dialog (New Composition, Solid Settings, file pickers). |

| `engine.commands` | `{filter?, enabledOnly?}` | `[{id, label, menu, shortcut, params, enabled, why}]` |
| `ui.menu.list` | `{}` | The menu tree with enablement. |
| `render.frame` | `{comp?, time?, max_side?, path?, base64?}` | Renders a comp frame through the session, independent of the viewer zoom or resolution. `comp` is an id or name (default: the active comp), `time` is in comp seconds (default: the CTI), `max_side` caps the longest side (0 = full size). Writes a PNG to `path` (default: a temp file) and returns `{comp, time, width, height, path}`. With `base64: true` it returns `{…, png: "<base64>"}` and writes no file. |
