I'd rater see it say something like:

	Output the value as boolean (true or false)

so that it is consistent with others you can see in the context.
E.g. get-color explains it to order the command to "find the color".

"Interpret" is fine too.  The point is not about the choice of verb but
use of imperative mood.
