It's probably near impossible to automate, because the Core's REST API isn't programmatically discoverable. As a counter-example, Launchpad's REST API provides a WADL[1] description extracted from the code, but this makes it way too heavyweight for my tastes. And because the Core uses a dynamic object-based traversal system (inherited from restish and ported to falcon) it would make any kind of static REST API description pretty difficult to generate.
