Ask any question about CBrowser. Get a grounded answer from 289 pages of documentation.

What It Does

This tool queries the CBrowser knowledge base when you need to understand:

  • What a tool does and how to use it
  • What a score or metric means
  • Which persona to use for a specific scenario
  • How tools work together in a workflow
  • What a trait value means at a specific level

The answer comes from indexed documentation. It does not guess or hallucinate features.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
question string Yes Your question about CBrowser
context string No URL being tested, tool in use, or scores you see

Examples

question_answer(question: "What does empathy_audit measure?")

question_answer(question: "How do I test mobile accessibility?")

question_answer(question: "What is a CTC of 0.85 with readability bottleneck?", context: "Testing https://example.com")

question_answer(question: "Which persona should I use for testing with elderly users?")

question_answer(question: "What is the difference between viewport and full_page scope?")

Response

{
  "question": "What does empathy_audit measure?",
  "answer": "empathy_audit simulates how users with disabilities experience your site. It tests with specific personas like motor-impairment-tremor, low-vision-magnified, and cognitive-adhd. Each persona detects different barriers: touch target size, contrast, cognitive load, timing issues. The tool returns an empathy score (0-100), barrier list with WCAG criteria, and remediation steps. Use scope='viewport' for first-impression testing or scope='full_page' for WCAG compliance. The device parameter enables mobile testing.",
  "sources": [
    "[/docs/tool-empathy-audit — Tool Empathy Audit]: ...",
    "[/accessibility — Barrier Types]: ..."
  ],
  "note": "Answer grounded in CBrowser documentation (289 pages)."
}

How It Works

  1. Your question is sent to the CBrowser knowledge base
  2. Full-text search finds the most relevant documentation pages
  3. Tool names in your question trigger extra lookups for those tools
  4. Claude reads the matching docs and answers based only on what they say
  5. Source references are returned so you can read the full docs

Knowledge Base

The knowledge base indexes:

  • 289 web pages from cbrowser.ai
  • 25 cognitive trait definitions with scale examples
  • All tool documentation with parameters and examples
  • Persona profiles with behavioral descriptions
  • Schwartz value framework
  • CTC layer definitions
  • WCAG scoring methodology

When to Use

Use question_answer when you:

  • Are unsure which tool to run next
  • Need to understand what a score means
  • Want to know which persona fits a scenario
  • Need to understand how two tools differ
  • Want to confirm a tool accepts a specific parameter

Tips

  • Be specific. "What does CTC measure?" gets a better answer than "explain scores"
  • Include context. Mentioning the URL or tool you're using helps the answer focus
  • Ask about workflows. "How do I do a full mobile WCAG audit?" returns multi-tool guidance
