The man pages note that they describe a "user command" and are in man section 1 (see below for a typical example page).
The command names use a common prefix "euare-" with no obvious meaning.
Even the last line does not help for a user who does not know what a "ools" is.
Based on this, it look like it describes some variant of the local system commands,
like belonging to a different desktop environment or so.
So, there is very few information about what the commands belong to.
As solution, the man pages should at least say they are related to Eucalyptus;
even better, they could contain a one or two line summary stating the relation
of Eucalyptus to AWS.
(The package short description is "tools for interacting with AWS API-compatible services" for example)
