You did not mention if you want an ExtendScript or AppleScript. Here's both:

ExtendScript:

var lineWt = "4 pt";

var colorChoice = "Black";

var docRef = app.documents[0];

var selList = app.selection;

var borderProps = {

    fillColor: 'None',

    strokeColor: docRef.swatches.itemByName(colorChoice),

   strokeTint: 100,

   strokeWeight: lineWt,

   strokeAlignment: 1936998729, //center alignment

    strokeType:'Solid'

    };

//is there a rectangle selected, if so set its properties to property list borderProps

var selList = app.selection;

if (selList.length > 0 && selList[0].constructor.Name = "textFrame"){

    selList[0].properties = borderProps;

}

AppleScript:

set linewt to "4 pt"

set colorChoice to "Black"

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"

  set docRef to document 1

  set theSwatch to swatch colorChoice of docRef

  set borderProps to {stroke color:theSwatch, fill color:"None", stroke tint:100, stroke weight:linewt, stroke alignment:center alignment, stroke type:"Solid"}

  set selList to selection

  if selList is not {} then

  set selItem to item 1 of selList

  if class of selItem is text frame then

  set properties of selItem to borderProps

  end if

  end if

end tell
