mostly, I don't understand why you feel you need to parse a
command before understanding it, when the command is something
simple like a 'who are you?' challenge/response. most programs
that can speak to different clients will do some dynamic
adaptation of protocol based on interaction with the client.
it's not clear to me why you want to do it differently.

this seems to be the miscommunication going on. I don't think I
need a parse tree to begin understanding output, and it's not
clear to me what programming model you're using that makes it
hard to do simple output recognition without a parse tree.
