grub.cgf is written in its own language, and modules that are added to
(or available from, I'm not sure) can define additional commands.  I
don't know if there's any proper overview description of the Grub
language itself, but section 15.2 of the Grub manual is "The list of
command-line and menu entry commands".

As far as I can tell, the language is procedural, which probably isn't
how I would have designed it.  But that's another matter.
