They aren't documented because they are just the context commands.  You 
can read more about how it works in 
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/cld-mkiv.pdf

Here a little sample with an xtable:

\starttext

\startluacode
local function duedate()
     local t = os.date('*t', os.time()+ 10 * 24 * 3600)
     context.date{ d = t.day, m = t.month, y = t.year }
end

context.startxtable{frame = "off"}
    context.NC() context("Note") context.NC() context("Date") context.NR()
    context.NC() context("Hand in before") context.NC() duedate() 
context.NR()
context.stopxtable()
\stopluacode

\stoptext
