Native tmsh/bash commands via REST API

Hi all,   is there a way to execute native tmsh or bash commands using the REST API? As long as there are not all configurations controllable by REST i would like to execute some commands directly...

Here is an example of bash over REST -

$ curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST  \
    -d '{"command": "run", "utilCmdArgs": "-c \"date -u\""}' \
    https://$HOST/mgmt/tm/util/bash | jq .
{
  "kind": "tm:util:bash:runstate",
  "command": "run",
  "utilCmdArgs": "-c \"date -u\"",
  "commandResult": "Fri Feb  3 01:11:56 UTC 2017\n"
}
