Calling an action in extendscript toolkit

Question

Is there a possibility to execute an action by extendscript toolkit?
Name of action is: test.
In the action is defined that all layers must be unlocked + unlock all items + select all + Edit>edit colors>convert to grayscale
I hope someone can give me a hint

you are correct Mark, Javascript could write a VBS file and run it via File.execute(). For simplicity, I wrote the VBS file myself and had JS call it.
the action in this sample is called "selectAll" and lives in the "Set 1" action set.
the vbs file is saved as "Hello Test.vbs", the sample adds a "Hello World" text frame, counts all text frames, then calls the action to select all items.
'Sub testSelectAllAction()
    set Iapp = createobject("illustrator.application")
        Set Idoc = Iapp.ActiveDocument
    set tFrame = Idoc.textframes.add
    tFrame.contents = "Hello World"
        MsgBox Idoc.TextFrames.Count
    Iapp.DoScript "selectAll","Set 1"
        Set tFrame = Nothing
        Set Idoc = Nothing
        Set Iapp = Nothing
'End Sub
call the VBS file from Javascript like this
var file = File('/c/Users/carlos.canto/Documents/Adobe Scripts/Hello Test.vbs');
file.execute();
