# Read a record's comments

`GET https://your-suite.grid82.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/records/{recordId}/comments`

List notes users left on this record, oldest first.

> **Note: Generic contract**

> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.grid82.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.

Comments are about the record, not its fields. If you cannot read the record, refuse rather than report that it has no comments, to avoid confirming its existence.

Requires the `records:read` scope. Operation `comments.list`. MCP tool `comments_list`. CLI: `grid82 comments list` (`npx grid82`).
