It shows you the command and allows you to copy it on the clipboard. It's never going to execute it. For me it is useful more like a refreshing your memory than doing the actual work, therefore you need to know what you're doing from previous knowledge.

On the other hand if you are doing something dangerous or risky or you don't understand the suggested command, maybe you shouldn't use this tool without searching more info first.

That sounds suspciously like smitty[0].

Which was a useful tool when I was learning AIX. I'd expect a similar tool could be useful for learning other systems too.
