Is it possible to enable firewall rules via the command line / cron / API?

I frequently disable a rule for testing and then forget to re-enable it.

It would be very nice to be able to have a cron job run nightly to re-enable all the rules for those times that I forget to do so.  However, I am not seeing that ability in the docs.

Am I overlooking the obvious?

Maybe a better question, is there an API endpoint which allows rules to be enabled?

I am looking at these docs and it is unclear if this works on the built-in firewall rules based upon this statement:

Although the plugin does contains a basic user interface (in Firewall ‣ Automation), it's mirely intended as a reference and testbed. There's no relation to any of the rules being managed via the core system.

 I am using an example from the docs and it returns an empty result set.  Are the API docs out of date now that the firewall endpoints are built in?
