Confluence MCP comments tools - don't return comment author

[galuszkak]

Summary

The getConfluencePageInlineComments and getConfluencePageFooterComments tools return comment body, status, resolution status, and properties — but do not include the comment author (display name or account ID).

Current Behavior

Response for both tools includes:

• id, status, body, resolutionStatus, properties

But not authorId, displayName, or any author information.

Expected Behavior

Each comment should include author information. The underlying Confluence v2 API already returns this in version.authorId and version.createdAt:

{
  "id": "5439520822",
  "version": {
    "authorId": "712020:ea57db02-e241-4238-a423-783b9b030abe",
    "createdAt": "2025-08-15T13:07:22.447Z"
  },
  "body": { ... }
}

Ideally the MCP tools would surface at minimum:

• authorId (Atlassian account ID)
• authorDisplayName (resolved display name)
• createdAt (comment timestamp)

Use Case

When reviewing documents in Confluence, knowing who wrote each comment is essential for understanding context and deciding how to respond. Without author information, the comment data is significantly less useful — you can see what was said but not by whom.

Workaround

Currently calling the Confluence REST API v2 directly and resolving version.authorId via the user lookup endpoint.
