asadmin commands requires a running server

Why asadmin commands require the server running ?

Here is the output for list-commands:

-- cut here --
~/testbed/glassfish/v3/4_28/glassfish/bin >./asadmin list-commands
Remote server does not listen for requests on [localhost:8080].
Is the server up?
Command list-commands failed.
-- cut here --

Can anybody explain why the output of list-commands (which is most
likely the same list of commands everytime) cannot be dumped w/o server
running ? I'm sure there are other commands in that category.

Also, the commands are classified as Local & Remote commands. What is
the difference ?
