Don't know about any SNMP OID, but rcmd might be a more flexible
solution than expect scripts. If you control the path from the gathering
host to the switch there shouldn't be any great security risks. Expect
scripts would probably mean that you have some automatic means of
supplying a password, with associated problems.

Something like:

ip rcmd rsh-enable
ip rcmd remote-host <RSHUSER> <host ip> <RSHUSER> enable

in the config means that you can do a "rsh <switch ip> show vlan summ \|
incl existing VLANs" from your host as the RSHUSER user.
