Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Our false positive rate is 5.6%. Here is how we measured it, and why we are printing it.

Every accessibility tool claims to be accurate. Not one of them will tell you how often it is wrong.

Marlo will. It checks pages against the official W3C ACT rule corpus, then measures itself against that same corpus and commits the result to this repository. The numbers are regenerated in CI on every push. When one gets worse, the build fails.

The table nobody else publishes

Four engines, 513 official test case outcomes, one code path, no exemptions.

Marlo is third of four. Alfa and axe-core are both more precise and more sensitive, and the router sends 18 rules to axe-core against 20 to Marlo's own engine.

Nobody edited that. Marlo's engine goes through the same harness, on the same corpus, with no special case, because a table where the author's own engine

Fixes accessibility violations and proves it. Multi-engine WCAG detection routed by measured accuracy, verified minimal-diff repairs, and a published error rate.

What tools does Marlo expose?

4 in total: 4 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Marlo safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (66/100) and found 3 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Marlo need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does Marlo run?

It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as @marlo/schema at 0.1.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (80e6f9b2c940), read on 2026-10-13. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
