How Can I Get the Commands Of Actions

It seems like there is a command to access action step details, but I couldn’t find anything.
But there is an alternative to access action step details, using “copy as JavaScript” to extract details.

executeAsModal(async () => {
      try {
         // get a command string through ID 15010 in case of "copy as JavaScript"
         const f = await core.getMenuCommandState({ commandID: 15010 });
         const title = await core.getMenuCommandTitle({ commandID: 15010 });
         // checking any an active action on action panel
         if (f[0]) {
           // executing "copy as a JavaScript" by ID
            await core.performMenuCommand({ commandID: 15010 });
            // reading command details through clipboard
            const d = await navigator.clipboard.read();
            const funcText = d["text/plain"];
            // reading command details
            console.log(funcText);
         } else {
            await app.showAlert("select any action on action panel.");
         }
      } catch (e) {
         await app.showAlert(e);
      }
}, {"commandName": "Action Commands"});

However, it reads as a string text, making me bit frustrated to analyse each detail.
You need to use RegExp or something…

// an exmaple, reading a curve action by using "copy as JavaScript"
async function curve() {
    let commands = [
        {
            "_obj": "set",
            "_target": [
                {
                    "_enum": "ordinal",
                    "_ref": "adjustmentLayer",
                    "_value": "targetEnum"
                }
            ],
            "to": {
                "_obj": "curves",
                "adjustment": [
                    {
                        "_obj": "curvesAdjustment",
                        "channel": {
                            "_enum": "channel",
                            "_ref": "channel",
                            "_value": "composite"
                        },
                        "curve": [
                            {
                                "_obj": "paint",
                                "horizontal": 1.0,
                                "vertical": 0.0
                            },
                            {
                                "_obj": "paint",
                                "horizontal": 126.0,
                                "vertical": 128.0
                            },
                            {
                                "_obj": "paint",
                                "horizontal": 255.0,
                                "vertical": 255.0
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ];
    return await require("photoshop").action.batchPlay(commands, {});
}

console.log(
    await require("photoshop").core.executeAsModal(curve, {"commandName": "Action Commands"})
);
