>> begin_stop_commands(token="my_token")
>> echo("Hello World")
>> end_stop_commands("my_token")
# Output:
# ::stop-commands ::my_token
# Hello World
# ::my_token::
# ====================

# Hello World
# ::endgroup::
```
### **`add_mask(value, use_subprocess=False)`**
Masking a value prevents a string or variable from being printed in the workflow console.

>> add_mask("test value")
# Output:
# ::add-mask ::test value
```
### **`set_env(name, value)`**
Creates an environment variable by writing this to the `GITHUB_ENV` environment file which is available to any subsequent steps in a workflow job.

# Output:
# {"my_env": "test value"}
```
### **`get_env(name)`**

### **`add_system_path(path)`**
Prepends a directory to the system PATH variable (`GITHUB_PATH`) and automatically makes it available to all subsequent actions in the current job.
GitHub Actions Docs: [add_system_path](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#adding-a-system-path)
