Download an ir.attachment from Odoo by ID.
AI agents call odoo_attachment_download to retrieve information from Odoo Claude MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Downloading an attachment is a read-only operation that retrieves data with no side effects. The tool accesses existing content without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything.
