You can add a comment on the methods like the example below but what about adding comments to the request and response model?

/// <summary>
/// my summary
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// remark goes here.
/// </remarks>
/// <param name="somepara">Required parameter: Example: </param>
/// <return>Returns comment</return>
/// <response code="200">Ok</response>

Yes just like Dimitar said, you can add comments to the responses with SwaggerResponse, the request is a bit different, just like you added xml comments to your action you should add to the parameters, here is an example:

using Swagger.Net.Annotations;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Http.Results;

namespace Swagger_Test.Controllers
{
    public class IHttpActionResultController : ApiController
    {

        [SwaggerResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "List of customers", typeof(IEnumerable<int>))]
        [SwaggerResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, Type = typeof(NotFoundResult))]
        public IHttpActionResult Post(MyData data)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

    /// <summary>My super duper data</summary>
    public class MyData
    {
        /// <summary>The unique identifier</summary>
        public int id { get; set; }

        /// <summary>Everyone needs a name</summary>
        public string name { get; set; }
    }
}

And in swagger that will look like: enter image description here
