Hi,

no, there is no command line tool available for work items and also no tool to download attachments OOTB. You can write a tool using the Plain Java Client Libraries. See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/uploading-attachments-to-work-items/ for the reverse operation. I assume you could figure out how to download from that.

 There's also the OSLC CM API.  For example, https://jazz.net/jazz/oslc/workitems/74964?OSLC-Core-Version=2.0 contains:
<rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.attachment.attachment rdf:ID="n4"rdf:resource="https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.workitem.Attachment/_0g3i8BfSEd63kMlrUwKMrg"/>

Unfortunately that request is blocked by out whitelist on jazz.net, but it may work for your server.
I would return an item describing the attachment, not the attachment contents itself, but should contain the content id.  The content could then be fetched using <repo root>/content/<contentId>.

I'm having trouble giving a better example at the moment because my VPN is down.

Note that the rtc_cm:...attachment property is RTC-specific, so this approach would not work with any other OSLC CM provider.
