Get comments from a task in Todoist
AI agents call get-task-comments to retrieve information from Todoist MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves comments associated with a task, which is a read-only operation that queries data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an agent misuses it—at worst, it accesses task metadata the user is already authorized to view.
