Description

Hi

First of all, I could not find a list of all the rpc commands with their documentation,
if you have this and could share this, would be really really great!!

We have started using electrum-daemon with RPC.
I try to list the help for a command, but it fails.

Request
{"jsonrpc": "2.0",  "id": "1", "method": "help", "params": [ "add_peer" ] }
Response
{
    "id": "1",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "error": {
        "code": 1,
        "message": "help() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given"
    }
}

Research direction

Start by reproducing the JSON-RPC request for help with the add_peer parameter, then trace how the help command is dispatched over RPC. Done means the request returns the add_peer help text instead of the reported positional-argument error.
