Puppet resource command is a face, so you can query via:

{"title":"linecache","exported":false,"tags":["package","linecache"],"type":"Package","parameters":{"provider":"gem","configfiles":"keep","loglevel":"notice","ensure":["0.46"]}}
Look in the source code and there's additional examples such as listing all
