The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.
You don't know what fear is until you've witnessed a drunk bird divebombing you while carrying a screaming Kobold throwing fire anywhere and everywhere.
I saw that language, but I also know that different "pets" for other classes and subclasses will typically require either an action or bonus action to command by speaking

Yup, and those always stipulate the requirement(s) explicitly. This item does not have those requirements.

Those instances are actually exceptions, not the rule. Generally you can speak a few short sentences/commands for free during your turn.

This is usually to balance class features and prevent the doubling of a PC's action economy by default. Spells like find familiar don't require an action for general commands, and other spells, like conjure animals say the same (and clarify in parentheses that no action is required for verbal commands). Magic items like the figurines follow the same general rules.

By speaking. No action required.
