I have used "ctypes" in Python to implement a screensaver disable in my Python programs, based on the SetThreadExecutionState as described here:

But now I need to implement the same thing in a Livecode app and I'm struggling to understand how to call this function. Seems like it would be a simple thing, but most of the information I have found is how to make your own externals and use them in Livecode. But I just need to call this existing Windows function with arguments. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Save these two commands in a custom property or field and call it whenever needed.
