I've done this to strip Exif metadata from pictures using Automator. Uses homebrew and the exiftool package.

Workflow receives current "image files" in "any application"

Image = Action

Run shell script:

Shell: /bin/zsh

Pass input: As argument

  for f in "$@"
  do
    /opt/homebrew/bin/exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -ColorSpaceTags -Orientation $f
  done

Will be under the Quick Actions menu.

I tried the same with Shortcuts, but I cannot get it to run from the context menu, only within Shortcuts during testing. Maybe something limiting shell command access from Shortcuts? Not sure.
