+### Offline MCP Tool Diff
+
+Compare two saved tool-list responses before updating a server or client:
+
+```bash
+codex-plugin-doctor doctor tools-diff --before ./tools-old.json --after ./tools-new.json --json
+```
+
+This reports added, removed, and structurally changed definitions using numeric
+locations. Incomplete inputs, invalid definitions, or duplicate names prevent a
+comparison. It does not determine whether a schema change breaks compatibility.
