Ive done several interesting automation test projects several months ago and I would say it’s totally possible and would be straightforward to accomplish. I would also say that in a production environment (opinion following) Graphic Converter combined with OS X file system for auto bulk processing images is solid match within a workflow, capable of applying image adjustments in a procedural way rather than GUI, and then outputting to any folder being “watched” by quartz composer, which is integrated within your patch.
