wp_list_comments

Read-only

Description

Use this tool to retrieve a list of comments on your site, with filters for post ID, comment status (approved, pending, spam, trash), and author. This is the starting point for moderation tasks — your AI can find comments that need approval and act on them using the update or delete tools.
