Get an Origin Pull Request Comment via the API
Fetch one comment by stable id with GET https://api.cursor.com/v1/origin/repos/{ownerSlug}/{repoName}/pulls/comments/{commentId}. Official reference: Origin API → Get Pull Request Comment (OpenAPI OriginService_GetPullRequestComment). Changelog notes: August 29, 2026 (full thread object on each comment), September 16, 2026 (OpenAPI schema renamed Thread → CommentThread; wire JSON unchanged).
Origin is in Early Beta and subject to change. Authenticate with an installation access token (oit_…) or a user access token that carries repository:pull_requests:reviews:read. Availability: Early Beta per the API overview.
The path addresses the comment by commentId under the repository — there is no pullNumber in this path. A comment outside the authorized repository, or a pending-review comment not visible to the caller, returns 404. A 404 never distinguishes a missing comment from one your installation cannot reach.
Cost: 1 point against the principal budget (ordinary read).
