How can I access the clipboard from AppleScript?

I need to be able to send text from the clipboard to an application I'm writing (in Objective-C) via AppleScript. Obviously I need to make my application scriptable (I'm currently reading the Apple Docs about this) but is this possible/easy-to-implement?

On the AppleScript side you can use the command set the clipboard to to put data on the clipboard. See the AppleScript Language Guide.

If you need your app to retrieve data from the clipboard, you should use the NSPasteboard class.

Why do you think you need to use AppleScript?
