Much of the body of functionality that is available can be reviewed within the online documentation and other sources, just as it might be for a natively generated PowerCube. For information regarding another option for Analysis Services cube reporting with Cognos PowerPlay, please see my article Cognos for Microsoft Analysis Services Reporting: Using PowerPlay for Windows with an Analysis Services Cube.
