Well, if you are talking about a CLI, I've started one for SDK4[1]. It
exactly suffers from what I describe above - due to lack of a library on
top of the SDK I'm quite wastefully re-writing what others (for example,
the Ansible module) have probably done already.
But other than that, and the fact I stopped the effort, it's a very cool
CLI, I encourage you to check it out and perhaps pick it and do a better
job than me.
