Get Part Description Property Using Fusion 360 API

[isocam]

Can anybody help???

Is it possible, using Fusion 360 API, to get the parts "Description" property and, for testing only, show the description in a message box?

Please see the attached picture.

Many thanks in advance!!!!

    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        
        design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)
        root = design.rootComponent
        comp = root.occurrences.item(0).component
                
        ui.messageBox('Component description: {}'.format(comp.description))                
        
    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
