Simple sample to call Command through Kudu API:

  function RunCommand($dir,$command,$resourceGroupName, $webAppName, $slotName = $null){
        $kuduApiAuthorisationToken = Get-KuduApiAuthorisationHeaderValue $resourceGroupName $webAppName $slotName
        $kuduApiUrl="https://$webAppName.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/command"
        $Body = 
          @{
          "command"=$command;
           "dir"=$dir
           } 
        $bodyContent=@($Body) | ConvertTo-Json
        Write-Host $bodyContent
         Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $kuduApiUrl `
                            -Headers @{"Authorization"=$kuduApiAuthorisationToken;"If-Match"="*"} `
                            -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Body $bodyContent
    }


RunCommand "site\wwwroot\bin\apache-tomcat-8.0.33\webapps" "copy xx.war ..\xx.war /y" "[resource group]" "[web app]"
