purple-send is a dbus interface to pidgin, the doxygen reference lists all
the functions that can possibly be called.

purple-remote is a simplified tool to do specific things with pidgin,
running purple-remote by itself should print out usage information with
example commands. If you don't then that likely means you are missing one
of the python modules that are needed for purple-remote to work.

If you run 'grep command purple-remote' you will see a number of lines
which compare command to a string each of those strings is a possible
command.

You need to set the status in pidgin to do that.
