GEThttps://<your-url>/api/v2/drive-items/{drive_item}/comments

MCP id drive-items.comments.indexAlso on this path: POST Post a comment on a drive item

Returns the comment thread on one drive item (the same thread the drive document editor writes), newest first, keyset-paginated.

Token scope: api:read:project_driveorapi:read:customer_driveorapi:read:organization_driveorapi:read:user_drive
Without it: 403 insufficient-token-scope.
Permission: project_drive::access
Without it: 403 insufficient-permission.
Rate cost: 1 unit, read bucket. view=detail makes it 3. Adds: with_total=1 +2, each include +1.
Also: If-None-Match answers 304 when nothing changed. Never cached: private, no-store. Unknown query parameters are refused, never ignored.

Both are checked, scope first. A token never does more than its user. How access is checked

Response

The shape of the response, with sample values.

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "body": "<p>Section 3 needs the new pricing table.</p>",
      "author_type": "user",
      "author_id": 1,
      "author": {
        "id": 1
      },
      "commentable_type": "work_item",
      "commentable_id": 1,
      "commentable": {
        "id": 1
      },
      "created_at": "2026-03-04T09:15:00Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-04T09:15:00Z",
      "links": {
        "…": "1 field of CommentLinks"
      }
    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "page": {
      "per_page": 1,
      "next_cursor": "…",
      "prev_cursor": "…",
      "total": 1
    }
  },
  "links": {
    "self": "https://<your-url>/api/v2/work-items/1",
    "next": "https://<your-url>/api/v2/work-items/1",
    "prev": "https://<your-url>/api/v2/work-items/1"
  }
}

There is no organisation-wide collection of comments, so this nested path is the only way to list them and filter[commentable_type] / filter[commentable_id] do not exist: the parent is the path segment. Access to the parent is decided per item (the permission for the owner type, the access inherited from its folder, then any per-item grant), and an archived drive item answers 404, because comments are hard-deleted and trashed is therefore not an accepted parameter on this path. The declared permission is project_drive::access; customer_drive, organization_drive and user_drive apply by owner type, and a token covering any of the four is accepted. Pass include=author to expand each comment's author; the body is in both views. One comment is read, edited and deleted at its flat path /comments/{comment}, listed under Work items.
