scan_pagePerforms a comprehensive accessibility scan on the current page using Axe-core.audit_siteCrawls and scans multiple internal pages, then aggregates violations across the site.scan_page_matrixRuns Axe scans on the same page across viewport/media/zoom variants and compares deltas against baseline.audit_keyboardAudits real keyboard focus behavior by pressing Tab (and optional Shift+Tab) with practical heuristics.audit_screen_readerInspects the browser's accessibility tree (`page.ariaSnapshot`), accessible names and element geometry for potential accessibility issues. No actual screen reader is installed or driven, and its announcements and interactions are not tested.browser_navigateNavigate to a URL.browser_navigate_backGo back to the previous page.browser_navigation_timeoutSet default navigation timeout for existing tabs.browser_default_timeoutSet default operation timeout for existing tabs.browser_snapshotCapture accessibility snapshot of the current page (better than screenshot for analysis).browser_findSearch the current page accessibility snapshot without returning the full snapshot.browser_clickPerform click on a web page element.- +30 more on the listing page

browser_closeClose the pagebrowser_resizeResize the browser windowbrowser_console_messagesReturns all console messagesbrowser_handle_dialogHandle a dialogbrowser_emulate_mediaEmulate CSS media features for the page, for example switch between the light and dark color scheme. Omitted parameters are left unchanged; null clears an override.browser_evaluateEvaluate JavaScript expression on page or elementbrowser_file_uploadUpload one or multiple filesbrowser_dropDrop files or MIME-typed data onto an element, as if dragged from outside the page.

Returns matching snapshot nodes with a few lines of surrounding context (like search snippets), each shown under its path from the root of the tree, which is cheaper than capturing the whole snapshot when you only need to locate an element and its ref.browser_fill_formFill multiple form fieldsbrowser_press_keyPress a key on the keyboardbrowser_typeType text into editable element- +13 more on the listing page
