Hello,

you can't query workflows or tasks via CMIS. CMIS only affects objects that are stored as nodes in Alfresco. Workflows and tasks are not stored as nodes, instead they are maintained in the Activiti database tables. For accessing workflows, you need to use the Alfresco ReST / Public API. Currently, CMIS does not provide any support for workflows.
The reason you find these types via the workbench is that Alfresco uses the same type system to model workflow data as it uses for modelling documents, folders and other nodes. But these specific types are never instantiated in any way.
