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.
