Anthropic Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCA-F) Sample Questions:
1. Compliance requires that refunds exceeding $500 must automatically escalate to a human agent
- this rule cannot be left to model discretion. Despite clear system prompt instructions, production logs show the agent occasionally processes high-value refunds directly (3% failure rate). How should you achieve guaranteed compliance?
A) Implement a hook to intercept tool calls; when the refund process amount exceeds $500, block it and invoke human escalation.
B) Strengthen the system prompt with emphatic language: "CRITICAL POLICY: Refunds over $500 MUST trigger human escalation. NEVER process these directly."
C) Modify the refund tool to return an error with message "Amount exceeds policy limit - please escalate" when threshold is exceeded.
D) Add few-shot examples to the prompt showing correct escalation behavior at various refund amounts ($400, $500, $600).
2. Your MCP server implements a check_availability tool that queries an external calendar API.
During testing, you encounter three error conditions: (1) the tool is called with a malformed request missing the required user_email parameter, (2) the calendar API returns a 404 because the specified user doesn't exist in the calendar system, and (3) the calendar API returns a 503 because the service is temporarily unavailable. How should each error be reported according to MCP's error handling design?
A) Report all three as JSON-RPC protocol errors.
B) Report all three as tool results with isError: true.
C) Report errors 1 and 2 as JSON-RPC protocol errors; report error 3 as a tool result with isError:
true.
D) Report error 1 as a JSON-RPC protocol error; report errors 2 and 3 as tool results with isError:
true.
3. Your update_user_profile tool accepts a user_id (required) and an optional fields_to_update object. In testing, Claude frequently omits user_id or passes incorrectly structured data. What is most critical for helping Claude understand what parameter values to provide?
A) Verbose parameter names encoding format hints, such as user_id_string_uuid_format
B) Clear parameter descriptions explaining expected format, such as "user_id: UUID of the user to update (required)"
C) Strict JSON Schema type constraints marking user_id as required and defining fields_to_update as an object type
D) Detailed error responses explaining why invalid parameter values were rejected
4. A customer returns 4 hours after the initial session about the same billing dispute. The previous
32-turn session contains lookup_order results showing "Status: PENDING, Expected resolution:
24-48 hours." In testing, you observe that when resuming sessions with stale tool results, the agent often references the outdated data in responses (e.g., "I see your refund is still being processed") even after subsequent fresh tool calls return different information. What approach most reliably handles returning customers?
A) Start a new session, inject a structured summary of the previous interaction (issue type, actions taken, resolution status), then make fresh tool calls before engaging.
B) Resume with full history and add a system prompt instruction telling the agent to always prefer the most recent tool results when multiple calls to the same tool exist in context.
C) Resume with full history but filter out previous tool_result messages before resuming, keeping only the human/assistant turns so the agent must re-fetch needed data.
D) Resume with full history and configure the agent to automatically re-call all previously-used tools at session start to ensure data freshness.
5. Your agent is handling a billing dispute. After calling get_customer and lookup_order, it identifies that the dispute involves a promotional pricing error requiring manager approval - beyond the agent's authorization level. How should the workflow handle this mid-process escalation?
A) Attempt the refund with process_refund anyway, escalating only if the system rejects the transaction.
B) Call escalate_to_human passing only the customer's original message.
C) Compile a structured handoff with customer details, order info, and the identified issue before calling escalate_to_human.
D) Persist the complete conversation and tool response history to a database, then call escalate_to_human with a reference ID.
