Alexa admin commands

None. It hasn't been jailbroken and these little appliance boxes are locked down so customers can't accidentally break them.

Amazon has to link to any GPL packages they use, but without an unlocked bootloader you're not modifying squat.

It's not a general-purpose computer. It won't do that. It can't run nmap locally because it doesn't have nmap on it. You can probably set up a custom Alexa command to run nmap on another computer then read it back to you, but again it's all going to go through the cloud because that's where all the horsepower is.
If you don't want anything going to the cloud, throw the Echo away. It's literally a loss-leader marketing device designed to get you hooked into Amazon's ecosystem so you buy more of their products and generate ad revenue for them. It's a hot mic that always listens to you so it can insidiously tailor ads to whatever it is you're talking about, and also tell you the weather or a joke.
It can't locally do anything you're asking it to do. You're asking a fish to climb a tree.
For what you want, you'll have to build your own Alexa-alike clone stack from scratch.
