then you're doing something wrong

\startluacode
     local main = lpdf.epdf.load("ar.pdf")
     context(tostring(main.Info.ModDate))
     context(tostring(main.Info.Title))
     local crap1 = tostring(main.Info.ModDate)
     local crap2 = tostring(main.Info.Title)
     context(crap1)
     context(crap2)
\stopluacode

works quite okay

grep is your friend ... (probably also in the cld manual)

directives.enable('backend.date=2021.02.01')

which of course doesn't mean that each one will work out as expected 
because timing matters
