Doesn't introspection limited to passive examination, withoutactions?

Hello,
Refering to 
https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/systemd/networkctl.1.en.html .
The DESCRIPTION section of the networkctl manual page, at the top of the 
page, writes about introspection. Does introspection correctly describes 
actions such as delete, up, down, reconfigure, reload? Those actions are
mentioned as possible commands at the COMMANDS section. 
Can someone who read only the DESCRIPTION assume networkctl only offers 
a simple dump of the network interface states?
