## Purpose
This document provides LLM coding agents with concrete, actionable guidance for using Cremote's accessibility testing tools to conduct ADA/WCAG compliance audits.
## ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Tool Naming Convention
All cremote MCP tools use the **double suffix** naming pattern: `toolname_cremotemcp_cremotemcp`
**Correct:** `web_run_axe_cremotemcp_cremotemcp`
**Incorrect:** `web_run_axe_cremotemcp`
## Quick Reference
### Token-Efficient Summary Tools (NEW - 2025-10-03)
**🚀 RECOMMENDED FOR SITE-WIDE ASSESSMENTS**
These tools reduce token usage by 85-95% while providing comprehensive, actionable results:
| Tool | Purpose | Token Usage | Replaces |
|------|---------|-------------|----------|
| `web_page_accessibility_report_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` | Comprehensive single-page assessment | ~4k | Multiple tools (95% savings) |
| `web_contrast_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` | Smart contrast check with patterns | ~4k | `web_contrast_check_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` (85% savings) |
| `web_keyboard_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` | Keyboard navigation summary | ~2k | `web_keyboard_test_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` (80% savings) |
| `web_form_accessibility_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` | Form accessibility check | ~2k | Manual form analysis (75% savings) |
**Use these for:**
- Multi-page site assessments (10+ pages possible)
- Initial comprehensive audits
- Token-constrained environments
- Structured, actionable reports

### Standard Testing Sequence
⭐ = Token-efficient summary tool (recommended for site-wide assessments)
### Recommended Testing Sequences

4. web_gradient_contrast_check_cremotemcp # Gradient background contrast (NEW)
5. web_media_validation_cremotemcp # Video/audio caption validation (NEW)
6. web_hover_focus_test_cremotemcp # Hover/focus content testing (NEW)
7. web_text_in_images_cremotemcp # Text-in-images detection (NEW)
8. web_sensory_characteristics_cremotemcp # Sensory instruction detection (NEW)
9. web_animation_flash_cremotemcp # Animation/flash detection (NEW)

- Includes: axe-core, contrast, keyboard, forms
- Returns: Structured summary with compliance status
- Token usage: ~4k (vs 80k+ with old approach)
```
**For 10 pages: ~40k tokens total (vs 800k+ with old approach)**
#### Option 2: Detailed Testing Approach (for deep dives)
**Use when you need raw data or specific tool features:**
```
1. web_inject_axe_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Inject axe-core library
2. web_run_axe_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Run comprehensive automated tests
3. web_contrast_check_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Detailed contrast analysis
4. web_gradient_contrast_check_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Gradient background contrast
5. web_media_validation_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Video/audio caption validation
6. web_hover_focus_test_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Hover/focus content testing
7. web_text_in_images_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Text-in-images detection
8. web_sensory_characteristics_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Sensory instruction detection
9. web_animation_flash_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Animation/flash detection
10. web_enhanced_accessibility_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Enhanced ARIA validation
11. web_keyboard_test_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Keyboard navigation testing
12. web_zoom_test_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Zoom functionality testing
13. web_reflow_test_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Responsive design testing
```
**Note:** For multi-page sites, also run:
```
14. web_cross_page_consistency_cremotemcp # Cross-page consistency (NEW)
14. web_cross_page_consistency_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Cross-page consistency
```
#### Option 3: Hybrid Approach (balanced)
**Use summary tools for initial assessment, detailed tools for specific issues:**
```
1. web_page_accessibility_report_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Initial comprehensive assessment
2. If specific issues found:
a. web_contrast_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Deep dive on contrast
b. web_keyboard_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Deep dive on keyboard
c. web_form_accessibility_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp # Deep dive on forms
```

## Best Practices for LLM Agents
### 1. Always Start with Axe-Core
Axe-core provides the broadest coverage (~57% of WCAG 2.1 AA). Use it as the foundation, then run specialized tests based on findings.
### 1. Use Token-Efficient Tools for Site-Wide Assessments (NEW)
For multi-page sites, **always use the summary tools first**:
- `web_page_accessibility_report_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` - Comprehensive page assessment (~4k tokens)
- `web_contrast_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` - Smart contrast check (~4k tokens)
- `web_keyboard_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` - Keyboard summary (~2k tokens)
- `web_form_accessibility_audit_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` - Form analysis (~2k tokens)
### 2. Test in Logical Order
**Benefits:**
- 85-95% token reduction
- 10+ pages testable vs 3 pages
- Structured, actionable results
- Compliance status and legal risk assessment
### 2. Start with Comprehensive Assessment
Use `web_page_accessibility_report_cremotemcp_cremotemcp` as your foundation. It combines axe-core, contrast, keyboard, and form tests in a single call with intelligent summarization.
### 3. Test in Logical Order
```
Automated (axe) → Specialized (contrast, keyboard) → Visual (zoom, reflow) → Documentation (screenshots)
Token-Efficient Summary → Deep Dive (if needed) → Visual (zoom, reflow) → Documentation (screenshots)
```
### 3. Provide Context in Reports
### 4. Provide Context in Reports
When reporting issues, include:
- WCAG criterion violated
- Severity/impact level
- Severity/impact level (CRITICAL, SERIOUS, HIGH, MEDIUM)
- Specific element(s) affected
- Current state (e.g., contrast ratio 3.2:1)
- Required state (e.g., contrast ratio 4.5:1)
- Suggested remediation
- Estimated remediation hours (from summary tools)
### 4. Capture Evidence
### 5. Capture Evidence
Always capture screenshots when documenting issues:
```json
{
"tool": "web_screenshot_cremotemcp",
"tool": "web_screenshot_cremotemcp_cremotemcp",
"arguments": {
"output": "/tmp/issue-contrast-button.png"
}
}
```
### 5. Verify Fixes
### 6. Verify Fixes
After suggesting fixes, re-run the relevant tests to verify resolution:
```
1. Suggest fix
2. Wait for implementation
3. Re-run specific test
3. Re-run specific test (use summary tool for efficiency)
4. Confirm issue resolved
```

- **Enhanced A11y:** Simplified reference validation, doesn't check all ARIA states
### 8. Token Management Strategy
**For site-wide assessments (10+ pages):**
1. Use summary tools exclusively: `web_page_accessibility_report_cremotemcp_cremotemcp`
2. Budget ~4-6k tokens per page
3. Reserve 20-30k tokens for report generation
4. Total: ~70k tokens for 10 pages + report
**For deep dives (1-3 pages):**
1. Use traditional detailed tools
2. Budget ~80-100k tokens per page
3. Get raw data for custom analysis
