Shells Are Two Things
The proposed solution of an API with a thinly wrapped auto-generated CLI is not terrible. I have heard it is common within Google, for example.
In the Python world, there are various solutions starting from https://github.com/ialbert/plac or https://argh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and moving on to https://github.com/pallets/click or https://github.com/Lucretiel/autocommand and probably N others.
Personally, I prefer Nim to Python which has https://github.com/c-blake/cligen. As mentioned in https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/MOTIVATION.md, but not in the article, the overhead of dispatch to a program in shell REPLs can also be thousands to millions of times higher than an API call.

xonsh - :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.
clamshell - experimenting with a python based shell
click - Python composable command line interface toolkit
cligen - Nim library to infer/generate command-line-interfaces / option / argument parsing; Docs at
mazzle - run server for building large and complicated consistent environments http://devops-pipeline.com
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
xontrib-prompt-starship - Starship cross-shell prompt in xonsh shell.
