AI agents call get_comments to retrieve information from Todoist without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves comments without modifying state. No side effects, no data deletion, no external operations triggered. It fits the Read category: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects'. Low severity because reading comments poses minimal risk—the worst case is information disclosure of existing task comments.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_comments' indicates a retrieval operation. The server context shows this is part of a task management system (Todoist) where 'get_' prefix typically denotes read-only queries.
