It takes at least six seconds to tie the right kind of knot in a piece of rope and that's basically your action for the turn. You can't really give it as another free object interaction as that's already been used up for this turn. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">That leaves the Cunning Action bonus action, which can only be used to Dash, Disengage or Hide.
