Get comments on a task
AI agents call get-comments to retrieve information from ClickUp Operator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing comments associated with a task, which is a read-only query operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions—it simply fetches data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as unauthorized comment retrieval may expose information but cannot alter state or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-comments' and description 'Get comments on a task' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
