Tool flags are not processed by texture-compressor but rather directly by the binary you are targeting itself.
For example adding --flags ["usesourceformat DXT1A" "alphaThreshold 200"] will pass usesourceformat DXT1A and alphaThreshold 200 directly to Crunch.
Please be aware that these flags are tool specific and can therefore not be directly applied to the other binaries.
-f, --flags ["flag value" "flag value"] [not required]
To find tool specific flags please refer to the manuals of ASTC, ETC, PVRTC, S3TC.
