The method returns a cursor with a batch of documents showing the inconsistencies found in the sharding metadata. The example below shows a cursor with a CollectionOptionsMismatch inconsistency document:

{
   cursor: {
      id: Long("0"),
      ns: "test.$cmd.aggregate",
      firstBatch: [
         {
            type: "CollectionOptionsMismatch",
            description: "Found collection with mismatching options across shards and/or config server",
            details: {
               namespace: "test.authors",
               options: [
                  { "options": { "capped": true }, "shards": [ "shard0" ] },
                  { "options": { "capped": false }, "shards": [ "shard1", "config" ] }
               ]
            }
         }
      ],
   },
   ok: 1
}
