You could get the list of attributes that were used to decorate the controller action from the ActionDescriptor property of the context:

public class ValidationActionFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext context)
    {
        if (context.ActionDescriptor.GetCustomAttributes().Any())
        {
            // The controller action is decorated with the [DontValidate]
            // custom attribute => don't do anything.
            return;
        }

        if (context.Request.Method.ToString() == "OPTIONS") return;
        var modelState = context.ModelState;
        if (!modelState.IsValid)
        {
            JsonValue errors = new JsonObject();
            foreach (var key in modelState.Keys)
            {
                // some stuff
            }

            context.Response = context.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, errors);
        }
    }
}
