There are 2 types of commands... dialplan apps (which execute on the current channel) and API commands (which may or may not involve a channel, when they do they always need its UUID).

APIs are generally executed from the console but can be used in the dialplan. It's a slightly different syntax though:
<action application="set" data="result=${api arg1 arg2 arg3}"/>

It doesn't have to be used with set, it can be used anywhere:
<condition field="${api arg1 arg2 arg3}" expression="^true$">
    <action application="bridge" data="${api arg1 arg2 arg3}"/>
</condition>

Any module can register either type of command...
  mod_dptools contains the generic dialplan apps
  mod_commands contains the generic API commands
  module-specific stuff will be registered by that module, e.g. the sofia API is registered by mod_sofia

For some reason I was failing to find that wiki page.  I assumed that
the dialplan actions were limited to what is offered by mod_dptools.

Thank you very much :-)
