Here is an Asymptote example
unitsize(1cm);
draw((-.1,0) -- (2,0),
arrow=Arrow(TeXHead));
draw((0,-.1) -- (0,2), arrow =
Arrow(TeXHead));
draw((0,0) .. (1,1) .. (2,sqrt(2)));
Below is how I have started setting this up in Context. This creates a pdf file with the drawing, but it is not included in the final docuement.
\defineexternalfilter
[ASY]
[filtercommand={asy -tex "context" -View -outformat pdf -outname \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile},
output=\externalfilterbasefile.out,
readcommand=\typefile,
cache=force,
location=text,
continue=yes]
\starttext
\startASY[myplot]
unitsize(1cm);
draw((-.1,0) -- (2,0),
arrow=Arrow(TeXHead));
draw((0,-.1) -- (0,2), arrow =
Arrow(TeXHead));
draw((0,0) .. (1,1) .. (2,sqrt(2)));
\stopASY

I have no time to create a nice minimal example, but here's an ugly
non-minimal example which should at least enable you to test the
interaction with the filter module.
I also added one ConTeXt-specific command while trying to make math
fonts work properly, just replace "lucidaot" with another font in case
you don't have that one installed.
You can run the example with
asy -tex context cylinder.asy
(Maybe it's possible to set the tex engine inside the file as well.)
Bonus points if you can get PRC to work properly before TL 2015. Or if
you can make the file print properly from OS X without using Acrobat
or ghostscript/CUPS. Preview.app "forgets" to print the (smoothly
shaded) cylinder for example.
