Fetch genes by assembly ID OR fetch genome annotation report using the CLI

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Use case: I maintain an archive of genomes of interest, which includes sequence data from the NCBI FTP archives, assembly metadata, and gene/protein annotations and metadata. I currently use the following REST API endpoints:

• https://api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/v2/genome/accession//dataset_report

• https://api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/v2/genome/accession//annotation_report

I can get the dataset report using the datasets CLI and would like to be able to do the same for the annotation report.

Describe the solution you'd like

a CLI equivalent of the annotation_report endpoint that allows users to supply a list of NCBI assembly accessions to retrieve annotation data for those assemblies. Alternatively, being able to retrieve gene reports by assembly accession (retrieval by taxon already exists) would be great.

Thank you

Thank you for the datasets command line tool - it is extremely useful and much quicker than using the API!

Start by inspecting the existing datasets CLI command that retrieves the dataset report and compare its request and response handling with the annotation_report endpoint. Done means a CLI path accepts one or more assembly accessions and retrieves annotation data, or implements the requested assembly-based gene report.
