Looks like the typo monster:

I  127.296s TimeoutThread-1-for-ProvisionDevice(05837e65)  [host]> /b/c/b/KitKat_Tablet_Tester/src/third_party/android_tools/sdk/platform-tools/adb -s 05837e65 shell '( content instert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:stay_on_while_plugged_in --bind value:i:3 );echo %$?'

https://codesearch.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/catapult/devil/devil/android/settings.py?rcl=f410d46fe0f63a221c8099698bb798a245f2a9c0&l=176


Locally, when running `content instert ...`, I get:

adb shell
... settings/global --bind name:s:stay_on_while_plugged_in --bind value:i:3       <
usage: adb shell content [subcommand] [options]

usage: adb shell content insert --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...]
  <URI> a content provider URI.
  <BINDING> binds a typed value to a column and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>:<TYPE>:<COLUMN_VALUE> where:
  <TYPE> specifies data type such as:
  b - boolean, s - string, i - integer, l - long, f - float, d - double
  Note: Omit the value for passing an empty string, e.g column:s:
  Example:
  # Add "new_setting" secure setting with value "new_value".
  adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:new_setting --bind value:s:new_value

usage: adb shell content update --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--where <WHERE>]
  <WHERE> is a SQL style where clause in quotes (You have to escape single quotes - see example below).
  Example:
  # Change "new_setting" secure setting to "newer_value".
  adb shell content update --uri content://settings/secure --bind value:s:newer_value --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content delete --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...] [--where <WHERE>]
  Example:
  # Remove "new_setting" secure setting.
  adb shell content delete --uri content://settings/secure --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content query --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--projection <PROJECTION>] [--where <WHERE>] [--sort <SORT_ORDER>]
  <PROJECTION> is a list of colon separated column names and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>[:<COLUMN_NAME>...]
  <SORT_ORDER> is the order in which rows in the result should be sorted.
  Example:
  # Select "name" and "value" columns from secure settings where "name" is equal to "new_setting" and sort the result by name in ascending order.
  adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --projection name:value --where "name='new_setting'" --sort "name ASC"

usage: adb shell content call --uri <URI> --method <METHOD> [--arg <ARG>]
       [--extra <BINDING> ...]
  <METHOD> is the name of a provider-defined method
  <ARG> is an optional string argument
  <BINDING> is like --bind above, typed data of the form <KEY>:{b,s,i,l,f,d}:<VAL>
