I have never documented this, but I think there is a core GTP set and
that will cover it.   From memory I think it's this to use the CGOS
client: 

   list_commands
   genmove
   clear_board
   komi
   boardsize
   play
   quit

optionally

   time_settings
   time_left


I THINK that's it.  

SGF has nothing to do with this and your engine does not have to
understand it to work on CGOS.
