The iTwin platform doesn't include a comprehensive public api for working with breps. Internally, our applications use a licensed 3rd party library. iTwin platform support for breps is mostly limited to display, mass properties, and snapping.

There are minimal alpha apis that support creating elements through specifying the inputs to a boolean operation that could satisfy 2, but that's pretty much it, there is no access to topology (faces, edges, vertices). From the ts side the brep is a black box.
