Why

A PM review of the MCP on 2.2.8 found two problems in reading web Accessibility reports:

1. Every issue looked confirmed. The report's CSV says which issues need review (the engine couldn't decide, so a person confirms them), their review status, which are best practices rather than WCAG failures, and the WCAG criteria each one checks. The parser dropped all four columns. An agent therefore presented needs-review and best-practice findings as confirmed WCAG failures.
2. The scan's dashboard link didn't open the scan. It was built from the scan's name, unencoded: scanner.browserstack.com/site-scanner/scan-details/<name with spaces>.

What

Needs review, best practice and WCAG criteria on each issue

• An issue the engine couldn't decide carries needs_review, set to its review status (unreviewed until someone confirms it).
• A best-practice issue carries best_practice: true.
• Each issue carries its WCAG criteria (wcag) when the report gives them.
• Every answer that reads a web report adds one line counted over the whole report, not just the page. For example: "Of the 527 issues, 161 need review (a person has to confirm them) and 191 are best practices, not WCAG failures."
  • A count that is zero is left out.
  • Needs-review issues a person has already confirmed don't count as still needing review.
• A short note tells the agent what the tags mean.

The scan's own dashboard link

• startAccessibilityScan takes the link from the scans list (scanUrl, on accessibility.browserstack.com with the scan's thBuildId) instead of building it from the name.
• A failed scan's answer gets the link too, with its scan and run ids.
• If the link can't be read, the answer gives the ids and no link.

Everything else is unchanged from main. The work on handing out more issues per call moved to the branch feat/a11y-issues-per-call, for a separate PR.

Verified

• npm run build: lint, prettier, 1,607 tests, tsc.
• Live against production, first page of a real 527-issue scan through the built code:
  • the count line reads "Of the 527 issues, 161 need review (a person has to confirm them) and 191 are best practices, not WCAG failures.";
  • the page's issues carry needs_review (5 of 15) and wcag (15 of 15);
  • 15 issues per call, which is main's level;
  • the CSV line is main's.
• dashboardLink returned the real scanUrl for two live scans, and nothing for an unknown one.
• Tests use made-up ids.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Accessibility reports now include counts of issues needing review and best-practice issues, with explanatory notes when applicable.
  • Reported issues can include review status and related guideline information.
  • Scan responses link to the corresponding dashboard page when a readable link is available, including for failed scans.
• Bug Fixes
  • Review counts now reflect the full report, while page-specific results show counts for the issues on that page.

Walkthrough

Accessibility reports now include needs-review and best-practice metadata and counts. Scan responses can include a dashboard link, or identify the Website Scanner dashboard by scan ID when no link is available.

Changes: Accessibility reports and scans

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse review metadata and counts src/tools/accessiblity-utils/report-parser.ts, tests/tools/accessibilityIssueRules.test.ts	The parser maps needs-review status, best-practice tags, and guideline text to issue records. It adds page-level and report-level counts, with tests for parsing and count behavior.
Resolve and report scan dashboard links src/tools/accessiblity-utils/scanner.ts, src/tools/accessibility.ts, tests/tools/accessibilityScanOutput.test.ts, tests/tools/accessibilityScanSettings.test.ts	The scanner returns a matching scan URL from the scans list when one is available. Scan success and failure responses include dashboard guidance and scan identifiers.
Include review counts in report responses src/tools/accessibility.ts, tests/tools/accessibilityScanOutput.test.ts	Web-report and completed-scan responses include review-count notes. Tests cover positive and zero counts.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: saviobs629

Merge Risk: Low · previous review f54fe

Some report guidance and counts can be misleading, and scans awaiting CSV export omit an available dashboard link. These are bounded issues to fix or accept before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to f54fe

The changes are bounded to report metadata and scan-response enrichment. The dashboard lookup uses existing credentials and a fixed API destination, and its returned link is displayed rather than fetched. No introduced security issue was established, but the returned link’s upstream provenance and schema guarantees remain undocumented.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new authenticated operation reads the scans list under the invocation’s configured credentials and emits only the matching scan’s link. The inspected change does not add authority, mutate another scan, or expose the complete list in its response.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — No introduced attack path was established in the inspected changes. The dashboard URL is inserted directly into response text, but attacker control over the upstream scanUrl field was not established, and the new path contains no credentialed request to that returned URL.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Scanner authentication is instance-owned, and initialization creates a scanner for the invocation before setting its credentials. The dashboard lookup uses those credentials against a fixed HTTPS API endpoint and matches the created scan ID before selecting a link.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Consider validating the expected HTTPS dashboard origin before displaying scanUrl, falling back to scan identifiers for unexpected values. This would constrain the new externally supplied display field; it is defense in depth, not a finding of attacker control.

With clear results to guide the day.

Review comments at @src/tools/accessibility.ts:
- Around line 548-549: Update the final sentence in REVIEW_TAGS_NOTE so it
describes only issues with neither needs_review nor best_practice as confirmed
WCAG failures. Leave the explanations of the individual tags unchanged.
- Around line 1500-1503: Update the ExportPendingError response in the scan
completion flow to include scanDashboardNote(dashboardLink, scanId), using the
dashboardLink already fetched by Promise.all. Preserve the existing scan ID,
scan run ID, and settings notes in the response.

Review comments at @src/tools/accessiblity-utils/report-parser.ts:
- Around line 135-137: Update the needs_review assignment to trim the review
status before lowercasing it, and use "unreviewed" when the trimmed value is
empty so padded and whitespace-only statuses normalize correctly.
