### Issue script & Debug output

above error

### Expected behavior

`az pipelines runs artifact download` succeeds and pipeline artifact is downloaded

### Environment Summary

azure-cli 2.87.0

core 2.87.0
telemetry 1.1.0

Extensions:
azure-devops 1.0.1

Dependencies:
msal 1.36.0
azure-mgmt-resource 24.0.0

Python location '/opt/az/bin/python3'
Config directory '/home/user/.azure'
Extensions directory '/home/user/.azure/cliextensions'

Python (Linux) 3.13.13 (main, May 26 2026, 06:39:46) [GCC 13.3.0]

### Additional context

After inspecting debug logs we noticed that azure cli is downloading the following version of artifacttool - **ArtifactTool_linux-arm64_0.2.550**,
so we tried to use the artifacttool directly like this:

**~/.azure/azuredevops/cli/tools/artifacttool/ArtifactTool_linux-arm64_0.2.550/artifacttool   pipelineartifact download   --service https://dev.azure.com/orgName --patvar AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_ARTIFACTTOOL_PATVAR   --project project-uuid   --pipeline-id 1234   --artifact-name package   --path /tmp/package**

**Output:**
