OS X Keychain Password Assistant function via terminal

OS X Keychain has a Password Assistant feature that offers passwords based on user criteria (e.g. Length = 18 and FIPS-181).

I want to access this function through bash. My particular interest is to request the generation of a password with my required attributes of length and complexity, and then adding this password element to a specific keychain.

The OS X Security CLI application solves the second part, but not the initial part of password generation.

Human security has not indicated anything about the password assistant function.
