app.executeCommand(3781) to create shapes,

app.executeCommand(2933) to create masks.

Just use app.findMenuCommandId("write here the name of the menu item") and note the value somewhere, it will work in any language.

This will work, but you always need to make sure the layer is selected in an open composition before running the code. It's not super stable though.

app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Create Shapes from Text"));
