The purple-remote script understands some very basic protocol URIs (which
you can see some examples of when you run purple-remote by itself,
assuming you have the right python modules otherwise python will likely
just scream at you).

Beyond that it has access to essentially the entire libpurple API (the API
which can be found on the website and in the development headers). The API
functions are transformed from something_that_looks_like_this to
SomethingThatLooksLikeThis for use via D-Bus (and thus via purple-remote).
Some examples of this are included in the usage output as well.
