If you need more, ask. I think it's all accessible to Guile scripts.
I think even a lot of the database stuff is possible in Guile.
I've used a Guile interface layer to MySQL and PostgreSQL, it
works very well. It's called Guile-DBI:

Hmm. Could a parts database utility be constructed to be logically
inserted ahead of the gnetlist back end (using -l or -m options)?
Plug-in...
Hmmmmmmm...sounds possible.
I was thinking about writing a parts database interface in Guile
directly in gschem awhile back, but never found the time to make it
happen. We've talked about it at great length here. I can see
having public read-only databases that we can share ("yes I have that
part, attach to my geda database at mysql://foo.bar.com/parts-is-
parts") along with some (free) parts database hosting for those of us
here who don't have or don't want to install a database server. I
have a big (dozens of GB) production database server here that I
could carve out space on for that.
