autotrace
bitmap to vector graphics converter (by autotrace)
inkscape-centerline-trace
A bitmap vectorizer that can trace along the centerline of a stroke. The builtin inkscape 'trace bitmap' can only trace edges, thus resulting in double lines for most basic use cases. It uses 'autotrace -centerline' and an optimal threshold to vectorize a pixel image. (by fablabnbg)

Inkscape trace bitmap as an edge as opposed to a shape OR transform shape to edge
did you try this ?

Inkscape as a purely command line tool
You can use Inkscape without the interface, but some operations only work with GUI. I'm pretty sure tracing bitmaps is one of them. However, before version 1.0 this functionality was provided by an extension, and since extensions are just python scripts, you can run them directly. Here is the GitHub page for the centerline-trace extension. It even comes with a wrapper-script to use it as a standalone command line tool ('centerline-trace.sh').
