buddyboss/get-activity returns a single activity item — author, component, type, privacy, spam flag and content — together with its comment thread.
The comments matter more than the item usually does.

How it works
Deleting an activity item deletes every comment beneath it, and that subtree is often far larger than the post that started it. A one-line update with sixty replies is sixty-one pieces of content, and the ID looks the same either way.
So this read is the planning step before a deletion, and the comment count it returns is the number buddyboss/delete-activity checks confirm_comment_count against.
The privacy field is worth reading too. An activity item carries its own privacy independent of where it was posted, so an item in a private group can still be public — which is the shape of an accidental disclosure.
The spam flag distinguishes an item somebody hid from one nobody has looked at.

What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
activity | object | Author, component, type, privacy, spam flag and content. |
comments | array | The comment thread. |
comment_count | integer | The number confirm_comment_count is checked against. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |
message | string | A one-line summary of what happened, suitable for showing a human. |
error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
Example
Ask your assistant:
What is activity 9102 and how much is attached to it?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "buddyboss/get-activity",
"parameters": {
"activity_id": 9102
}
}Worth knowing
- Deleting the item deletes every comment. This is how you find out how many.
- Item privacy is independent of where it was posted.
- The comment count feeds the deletion confirmation.
- Read-only.
