...because we now have such a thing, and from Apple itself. If you go to the App Store and download Apple Configurator 2 (available in 10.11 only), it's not scriptable -- but it does have a script library.
The library is in the app's /Contents/Library/Script Libraries/ folder, and is called "Configuration Utility". You can open it and see the code, which is just standard AppleScript and AppleScriptObjC -- a lot of the functionality of Configurator is provided by a command-line tool, and the library is mostly a bunch of handlers built around it, via do shell script.
I was wondering about the discoverability of that library.
The application's Automator actions are readily available in Automator. When you check the application help, you do have an "Automate device management" item that shows information about Automator actions and command line tools but *nothing* about the library. Searching for AppleScript or Library in the help is actually of no help since it only links to chapters that do not refer to AppleScript.
So, if you did not know about the email where you describe how to access the library help, how would you discover that library ?
