Get comments for a task or project. Must provide either task_id or project_id.
AI agents call get_comments to retrieve information from Todoist MCP Helper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing comment data without creating, modifying, or deleting any information. It is a pure query operation that presents no risk of unintended data loss, modification, or external effects. Even if an AI agent calls this tool excessively, the only consequence is information disclosure, which is inherent to read operations and carries minimal severity in a personal task management context.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_comments' and description states 'Get comments for a task or project' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
