No, you would invoke the npc via normal script commands with an os prefix, e.g.

default
{
     touch_start(integer total_number)
     {
         key cloneKey = osNpcCreate("Scary", "Clone", <134, 194, 43>, llDetectedKey(0));
     }
}

There's no real documentation of these apart from the code (in OSSL_Api.cs).  However, they are the last four in the list at

http://www.scengine.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10:opensim-api-functions&catid=6:os-api-functions&Itemid=14

It also looks like someone else already tried them without success.  Which leads me to suspect that they no longer work.

Remember, you will need to enable OSSL functions at a High threat level.  Information on how to do this should be 
available via Google.
