Unfortunately there are currently no such tools.
Last summer I started working on something like this using Vala (mostly to get 
a GObject based implementation of an Akonadi client library) but I haven't had 
any time to work on this since and the state of any code part is prototype at 
best.

One stop gap measure could be using kabcclient and the Akonadi plugin for 
KABC.

I am not sure which state the Ruby bindings for KDEPIM are in, you could check 
if it has Akonadi::ItemSearchJob

Cheers,
Kevin
