Constructing a Command object:

# The id of the command, can also be a plaintext name.
id: str = str(uuid4())
# Describes the type and name of action to preform.
action: Action | None = None
# Describes the input (request) data and output (response) data,
# and what to do with them.
request: Data = Data()
response: Data = Data()
# a dedicated memory dictionary for the command, 
# rather than using the shared memory of the executor's.
memory: dict[str, JsonValue] = None

Additional attributes:

# Id the command is still running: complete: False, running: True.
complete: bool = False
running: bool = False
# When an error is raised, it is saved here.
error: str | None = None

Constructing an Action object:

# The type of action, from the Actions class.
type: str
# The name of the action from the type from the Actions class.
name: str
# The amount of times to commit the action in a row.
repetitions: int = 1
# A timeout to stop the action.
timeout: dt.timedelta = None
# A value to specify that the action is to be executed in a different thread.
# This means that the action will return back the command as usual, 
# but will specify that the command is not complete and still running.
thread: bool = False
# A value to make the executor wait to the action to finish.
wait: bool = True

Constructing a Data object:

# The bytes | json valid payload to contain.
payload: JsonValue = None
# The format of the data. Can be inferred automatically.
format: str | Literal['text', 'bytes', 'json'] | None = None
# The name of the data, with which the data can be 
# saved to or read from the memory of the command/executor.
name: str | None = None
# The memory action to take with the data: read/write/delete/search
action: Literal['read', 'write', 'delete', 'search'] | None = None

Additional attributes:

# The timestamp of creation of the object.
timestamp: float = time.time()
