RaiMan proposed the following answer:
when using paste():

if a string contains double quotes, you either have to escape
"some string containing \" inside"

or use single quote for the string
'some string containing " inside'

(that is Python ;-)

if you want to "paste()" into a command line, you have to simulate the
key sequence.

This worked for me:
# the command line window is focused (accepts input)
paste("some text") # fills clipboard and writes a ^V to command line
type(Key.BACKSPACE) # get rid of the ^V
rightClick(App.focusedWindow()) # activate the command line's context menu
type("p") # select paste - text should now be inserted on command line
