Gets task comments. Use taskId (preferred) or taskName + optional listName. Use start/startId params for pagination. Task names may not be unique across lists.
AI agents call get_task_comments to retrieve information from ClickUp MCP 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 from tasks without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward query operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low as exposing comment retrieval poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Gets task comments' with parameters for taskId, taskName, listName, and pagination params (start/startId). No modifications, deletions, or executions are performed.
