Delete a comment

delete_comment

Deletes a comment or a reply you wrote, or one left by someone outside the workspace.

POST /v1/delete_commentScopecomments:writeDestructive

A comment whose AuthorKind is outside or guest came in through the site's shared link, and any workspace member may delete it to moderate the link. Deleting a teammate's is refused.

There is no undo. The comment's reactions are destroyed outright, and deleting a thread that has replies leaves those replies orphaned rather than removing them. A deleted comment drops out of list_comments and count_open_comments, though get_comment can still read it by its id.

The tool tells the client that resolving a thread with resolve_comment is almost always what someone means by "clear this up". See Comments.

Request

Call it with a POST to https://api.modulify.ai/v1/delete_comment, sending the inputs below as a JSON object. The token needs the comments:write scope.

This method is marked destructive: it deletes or overwrites data. Check the inputs before you call it, and send an Idempotency-Key header whenever you might retry it.

curl -X POST https://api.modulify.ai/v1/delete_comment \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"commentId":"COMMENT_ID"}'

Over MCP, the same method is the delete_comment tool.

Response

The response headers carry the call's X-Request-Id and what is left of your per-minute budget in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. Errors explains every status code a call can answer with.
