The official Alfresco documentation explains this pretty well. You shouldn't think of CMIS as a REST API itself. CMIS is an interoperability standard that aims to provide a generic, vendor-agnostic means of querying your data.

Anyway... Your problem seems to be that the noderef you're using is for a folder, which the service you're hitting doesn't work for. Try that instead with...

http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/9c3c6e63-e217-47a8-8216-298d2419cffa

...and see if you find your content.

For folders, try a WebDAV link, e.g.: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/webdav/Sites/swsdp/documentLibrary/Agency%20Files
