Yes, you can use ILSpy to decode powershell dll. Download ILSpy. For find path .dll with your cmdlets, use powershell command:

Or you can use a native solution to view the Metadata of the builtin (or any other cmdlets)

$Metadata = New-Object System.Management.Automation.CommandMetaData (Get-Command Connect-MSOLService)
$Contents = [System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::Create($Metadata)

Looks useful for getting information in the interface (I use the word hesitatingly) to a cmdlet, but I guess that creating a ProxyCommand based on the command metadata is more like reverse-engineering the cmdlet than actually revealing what it does?

It allows you to add functionality as the proxy function wraps the original command let. I use it to proxy all the write-host, write-warning, write-error etc. cmdlets to add a -log $logfile parameter this makes logging boilerplate less intrusive in the code
