# Read a record's comments

`GET https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/records/{recordId}/comments`

The notes users have left on this record, oldest first.

A comment is about the record, never a field of it. If you cannot read the record you are refused rather than told it has none, the difference would confirm it exists.

Requires the `records:read` scope. Operation `comments.list`. MCP tool `comments_list`. CLI, once published: `gtable comments list`.
