ucsmsdk only access the managed objects, the ones configurable through UCS Manager GUI, so you cannot get "show flogi database" or "show mac address-table". However you can alternatively you can use use netmiko:

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

fi = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_nxos',
    'ip': 'ip',
    'username': 'u',
    'password': 'p'
    }
connect = ConnectHandler(**fi)
connect.send_command('connect nxos a', expect_string=r"#")
output = connect.send_command('show mac address')
print(output)
output = connect.send_command('show npv flogi')
print(output)

You will need to parse the output, but is a beginning. 🙂 because the output is having a static structure, you can try using TextFSM for parsing. https://codingnetworker.com/2015/08/parse-cli-outputs-textfsm/

Hope it helps,
