I’d favour idempotence, because it allows retrying with the same result. So more of a “make it so” approach, but it doesn’t matter if it’s imperative or declarative. That being said, it depends on the action. “Send missile” should be imperative because it destroys something. I wouldn’t even turn it into “ensure 1 missile hit that target”, because it could lead to many missiles could be launch and that’s probably not the amount of control I’d like.
