Activate a Kodi builtin from JSON-RPC - holybladder - 2023-01-21
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I've searched google and the forums fairly extensively and haven't found it: How do you trigger a Kodi builtin from the JSON API? Do you have to make a Python script then call it via the API?

Check and see if this will work for you:

I'm not sure about the syntax and not even 100% sure that will run built-in actions. But if it isn't that, it doesn't look like there is a way to do it via the JSONRPC calls.
