You'd use the following to connect to a socket:
$ socat -v READLINE UNIX-CONNECT:/path/to/the.socket

However, as you indicated, socat could also be used to provide direction to TCP such that a standard telnet tool could be used. That might make sense in some scenarios, but doesn't from the simple case of, "I'm on the command-line". This could be wrapped or reimplemented through one of the CLI tools.
