You cannot. You have to explicitely give name and type of column with the columns= parameter. Especially the type of column is important (and difficult to determine automatically) as it determines the type of operations you can do on that data.

You can try to import the data into QGIS with the delimited text plugin, save it as a shapefile and then import it into GRASS, but you have no guarantee that the column type will be recognized correctly.
