Return the full Upgrade Helper diff, optionally filtered by platform.
AI agents call get_upgrade_diff to retrieve information from Rn Upgrade Helper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns pre-generated diffs from an external source. It performs a query/fetch operation to display information about React Native upgrade changes. There is no creation, modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial transaction involved. The optional filtering by platform is a read parameter that does not change the underlying operation's nature.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Return the full Upgrade Helper diff' - a retrieval operation. The verb 'Return' and context of fetching 'diffs' from react-native-community/rn-diff-purge indicates read-only data retrieval with no state modification or side effects.
