Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | No | Pagination cursor for retrieving additional results | |
| destinationBranch | No | Destination branch for comparison. IMPORTANT NOTE: The output displays as "destinationBranch → sourceBranch", and parameter naming can be counterintuitive. For full code diffs, try both parameter orders if initial results show only summary. If not specified, defaults to "main". Example: "develop" | |
| includeFullDiff | No | Whether to include the full code diff in the output. Defaults to true for rich output. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of changed files to return in results | |
| repoSlug | Yes | Repository slug containing the branches. Must be a valid repository slug in the specified workspace. Example: "project-api" | |
| sourceBranch | Yes | Source branch for comparison. IMPORTANT NOTE: The output displays as "destinationBranch → sourceBranch", and parameter naming can be counterintuitive. For full code diffs, try both parameter orders if initial results show only summary. Example: "feature/login-redesign" | |
| workspaceSlug | No | Workspace slug containing the repository. If not provided, the system will use your default workspace (either configured via BITBUCKET_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE or the first workspace in your account). Example: "myteam" |
