In case someone else would need the same thing, here is code that
works for me:

local simpled_verb = "simpled-verbs"

function get_possible_verbs ()
  local verbs = {}

  local f = io.popen(simpled_verb .. " --list")
  for line in f:lines() do
     verbs[line] = line 
  end
  f:close()

  return verbs
end

function query_verb(mplex)
   local possible_verbs = get_possible_verbs()
   print(possible_verbs,"\n")
   local function handler(mplex, str)
      ioncore.exec_on(mplex, simpled_verb .. ' ' .. str)
   end
   local function completor(cp, str, point)
      completions = mod_query.complete_keys(possible_verbs, str, true, true)
      cp:set_completions(completions)
   end
   mod_query.query(mplex, "verb: ", nil, handler, completor)
end
