Tabcmd doesn't have a feature yet to extract the publish dates for any particular Tableau workbook. But we have rest-api for our rescue. Using the workbooks views methods of the Tableau Server REST API you can do the operations such as -

  1. Get or update the details of a specific workbook (createdAt, updatedAt, etc...)
  2. Return a list of revision information (history) for the specified workbook

URI details

  1. GET /api/api-version/sites/site-id/workbooks/workbook-id
  2. GET /api/api-version/sites/site-id/workbooks/workbook-id/revisions

Also, if using python then we have Tableau Server Client (TSC) to interact with the Tableau Server REST API (and perform almost everything that can be done with the REST API). Using the TSC library, you can get information about a specific workbook or all the workbooks on a site. Using workbooks.get(req_options=None) method returns information about the workbooks on the site and workbooks.get_by_id(workbook_id) returns information about the specified workbook on the site.

More details here & here.

I am not sure it is possible using tabcmd.

But you can get the first & last published date of a workbook using tableau server REST API to query a workbook and get created and last updated dates. Look here for details
