Thank you for your follow-up questions.

Yes, the descriptions are the same short descriptions from the man pages for the
individual commands. These descriptions are obtained from the source of the man
pages, but this process is a manual process that involves copying and pasting
text. Unfortunately, the generation of the list of commands and descriptions in
the asadmin help man page is not automated.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
