Why the extra level of indirection (i.e. verb $subject subverb $args) Why not:

I think it's more natural to provide the whole "verb" up front.
+1 for set-keywords

Alternatively, use "keywords". Maybe using it without feeding a keyword could return the current keywords? If so, "set-keywords" would be inaccurate.
I feel like this is exactly the sort of ambiguity that's trying to be avoided -- using non-verbs to describe actions. With your proposal, how would you clear the currently set keywords? If you want to list the current keywords, "get-keywords" sounds like the right approach, rather than overloading something which is inherently vague.
