+**Query parameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Description | Example |

+| `include[comments]` | Include public comments | `?include[comments]=1` |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```
+/projects/1-bugs/items/2-bug-in-sites-overview/ai
+/projects/1-bugs/items/2-bug-in-sites-overview/ai?include[comments]=1
+/projects/1-bugs/items/2-bug-in-sites-overview/ai?format=markdown
