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 queries and retrieves comments associated with a task. It performs a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The verb 'get' and the absence of any descriptors suggesting mutation or execution confirm this is a Read category tool. Severity is low because accessing task comments poses minimal risk even if retrieved inadvertently by an agent.
