'SplitEdgeRingTool' does not have an entry in the 2025 mel reference?

I am messing the insert edge loop tool, I would like to create variations of it for myself (simply activating the tool with different options pre-enabled)

The script editor tells me its Mel command name is SplitEdgeRingTool. Checking the docs to learn more about it and there is no match…
I tried using whatis:

whatIs SplitEdgeRingTool;

// Result: Run Time Command
//editMenuUpdate MayaWindow|mainEditMenu;

What is a “Run Time command”, also I thought all built in Mel commands were documented??

whatIs SplitEdgeRingTool;
// Result: Run Time Command
runTimeCommand -query -command "SplitEdgeRingTool";
// Result: polySelectEditCtx -e -mode 1 polySelectEditContext; setToolTo polySelectEditContext
whatIs polySelectEditCtx;
// Result: Command

runTimeCommand

polySelectEditCtx
