Question 380 A research request asks for “all major causes” of a system outage; four agents independently research network failures and none studies storage or identity. Which root cause is likely? Too little output length in the network findings. The final writer lacks a decorative summary heading. Insufficient API temperature to generate varied prose. Poor task partitioning with duplicated scope and omitted categories. Explanation Correct Answer D:The work split fails both coverage and non-overlap requirements. Incorrect Answers A:Longer network reports cannot reveal unassigned categories. B:Formatting does not restore missing investigations. C:Prose variation is unrelated to systematic task coverage.
Question 381 A repository has both *.py and *.pyi files with different rules. Why should patterns distinguish them? Both extensions are always identical in semantic purpose. Filename suffixes cannot be matched by globs. Implementation and type-stub edits can require different checks and conventions. All code must be edited with identical permissions. Explanation Correct Answer C:Precise patterns avoid applying the wrong validation workflow. Incorrect Answers A:Stub files and implementation files are not always interchangeable. B:Globs are designed to match path patterns. D:File type and directory can inform scoped safety restrictions.
Question 382 A coordinator attempts to delegate to a specialist, but the runtime reports that its spawning capability is not allowed. What must be changed? Enable unrestricted file deletion instead of delegation. Grant the coordinator the exact subagent-invocation tool permission required by the installed SDK version. Tell the agent to be more decisive about invoking workers. Remove the specialist’s objective and hope the coordinator infers it. Explanation Correct Answer B:A prompt cannot override the runtime allowed-tools boundary for spawning. Incorrect Answers A:File privileges are unrelated to subagent invocation. C:Model motivation does not supply missing capability. D:Omitting requirements is not a permission fix.
Question 383 An assistant’s tool request includes JSON arguments that violate the registered schema. What should the client do before invoking the business API? Reject or repair through a controlled validation path and return a meaningful tool error. Invent missing privileged fields without the user’s knowledge. Pass malformed input directly to production for the API to interpret. Ignore the schema to avoid another model turn. Explanation Correct Answer A:The client must enforce its contract before executing malformed tool input. Incorrect Answers B:Filling sensitive fields silently may change the requested action. C:The operation may fail unpredictably or bypass expected validations. D:Lower latency cannot justify unsafe calls or corrupt data.
Question 384 A document tool returns a credit amount as a decimal string. The model later adds it to a number and fails. What should integration code do? Set a lower sampling temperature as the only mitigation. Concatenate the two fields as strings and call it the total. Hide the credit amount because it has an unusual type. Validate and convert the numeric field into a stable typed representation before it enters the model. Explanation Correct Answer D:Normalization avoids inconsistent arithmetic assumptions in subsequent steps. Incorrect Answers A:Sampling does not fix a malformed type contract. B:String concatenation is not monetary addition. C:The value is needed; its representation should be corrected.
Question 385 A user enters a skill slash command with a target branch parameter. The skill ignores it and edits the default branch. What contract is missing? An instruction to always use the default branch. Explicit parameter handling and branch validation before any write. More decorative markdown headings. Automatic deletion of other branches. Explanation Correct Answer B:The reusable workflow must bind arguments to the intended target. Incorrect Answers A:That contradicts the user’s supplied target. C:Visual formatting cannot fix a target-selection bug. D:Deleting branches is not a parameter fix.
Question 386 A developer proposes 12 subagents to parse a 100-line configuration file and answer one yes/no question. What is the best architectural critique? The file must be split into one subagent per line. Every result should be voted on randomly. The fixed small task likely needs one direct parser or compact model call, not a multi-agent network. The solution needs at least 20 agents for fault tolerance. Explanation Correct Answer C:Parallel orchestration adds coordination overhead without a corresponding decomposition benefit. Incorrect Answers A:Line-level agents multiply cost and lose configuration context. B:Random consensus is not deterministic validation. D:More workers do not improve a simple bounded parse.
Question 387 An agent tries to submit a tax filing while one of five required fields is blank. What should orchestration do? Fill the field with a guessed value to keep the workflow moving. Block submission and ask for the missing authorized data. Submit the partial form and hope the external service ignores the field. Replace the field with the customer’s entire chat transcript. Explanation Correct Answer B:A hard field-completeness gate is required before the external filing action. Incorrect Answers A:Inventing filing data can cause real legal or financial consequences. C:Missing mandatory data should be handled explicitly, not delegated to chance. D:Unstructured history is not a valid required field and may expose unnecessary data.
Question 388 A request to improve a billing system contains known database queries and a vague user-experience goal. How should decomposition treat these pieces? Drop the data validation because the UX goal is less specified. Use deterministic data checks for known queries and an exploratory workstream for the ambiguous UX problem. Turn every SQL query into an open-ended design debate. Treat the vague UX goal as if it were a fixed sequence. Explanation Correct Answer B:Different certainty levels warrant different workflow strategies. Incorrect Answers A:Uncertainty in one branch does not eliminate required checks elsewhere. C:Known exact checks do not need expensive creative planning. D:The design needs exploration and clarification of success criteria.
Question 389 A compliance case is transferred from a triage agent to a specialist, but the specialist lacks the decision already made about jurisdiction. What should handoff include? The complete internal memory of every unrelated agent. Only the original user greeting. The verified jurisdiction, supporting evidence, open tasks, and any limitations. An instruction to assume the most permissive jurisdiction. Explanation Correct Answer C:A handoff should preserve decision-relevant state, not force the next worker to guess. Incorrect Answers A:Excess context raises privacy and attention risks. B:The specialist would have no classification or completed steps. D:Unsupported defaults can produce noncompliant decisions.
Question 390 A model requests a database update and a read in the same tool batch, but the read depends on the update. What should the host ensure? Respect the dependency and run the read only after the authorized update completes. Read first and report the stale value as current. Execute both concurrently because multiple tool uses always imply independence. Skip the read and assert the update succeeded. Explanation Correct Answer A:Parallelizing dependent operations can produce stale or inconsistent results. Incorrect Answers B:The reading may not reflect the intended update. C:A common response batch does not guarantee there are no data dependencies. D:A submitted update still needs the appropriate outcome check.
