Hi John, you can use bash to run tmsh commands, so state is indeed possible by using tmsh modify on the pool member:

 tmsh show gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members | grep State
  State        : enabled
  |   State        : enabled
 tmsh modify gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members modify { ltm3:/Common/testvip { disabled }}
 tmsh show gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members | grep State
  State        : enabled
  |   State        : disabled
