I can't find any information on the tools capabilities or implementation on that website. The README on github isn't helpful either.

Yeah, they're hidden away in their git repo [1]. They have a good set of example usage commands [2], and a nice introductory document explaining what dat is [3]. Perhaps most important are the technical notes [4] that describe the supported formats.

There is another readme that is more informative:
