Anthropic Claude Certified Architect – Foundations Sample Questions:
1. You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs direct execution.
Your team is configuring MCP servers in Claude Code. You want to add a shared venue lookup server that all team members should have access to, and you personally want to add an experimental music playlist server that only you are testing.
Which configuration approach correctly applies MCP server scopes?
A) Add the venue server to ~/.claude.json and the playlist server to .mcp.json .
B) Add both servers to the project-level .mcp.json file.
C) Add both servers to your local ~/.claude.json .
D) Add the venue server to .mcp.json and the playlist server to ~/.claude.json .
2. You are building a customer support resolution agent using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent handles high- ambiguity requests like returns, billing disputes, and account issues. It has access to your backend systems through custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools ( get_customer , lookup_order , process_refund , escalate_to_human ). Your target is 80%+ first-contact resolution while knowing when to escalate.
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) Modify the refund tool to return an error with message "Amount exceeds policy limit-please escalate" when the threshold is exceeded.
C) Strengthen the system prompt with emphatic language: "CRITICAL POLICY: Refunds over $500 MUST trigger human escalation. NEVER process these directly."
D) Add few-shot examples to the prompt showing correct escalation behavior at various refund amounts ($400, $500, $600).
3. You are building developer productivity tools using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent helps engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate code, and automate repetitive tasks. It uses the built-in tools (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob) and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
An engineer's exploration subagent spent 30 minutes analyzing a legacy payment system, reading 47 files and documenting data flows. The session was interrupted when the engineer's connection dropped. While away, a teammate merged a PR that renamed two utility functions. The engineer wants to continue the same exploration.
What's the most effective approach?
A) Launch a fresh subagent and include the prior transcript in the initial prompt for context.
B) Launch a fresh subagent with a summary of prior findings.
C) Resume the subagent from its previous transcript without mentioning the changes-the architecture understanding remains valid.
D) Resume the subagent from its previous transcript and inform it about the renamed functions.
4. You are building developer productivity tools using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent helps engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate code, and automate repetitive tasks. It uses the built-in tools (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob) and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Your codebase exploration tool stores session IDs to allow engineers to continue investigations across work sessions. An engineer spent an hour yesterday analyzing a legacy authentication module, building context about its architecture and dependencies. They want to continue today. The session ID is valid, but version control shows 3 of the 12 files the agent previously read were modified overnight by a teammate's merge.
What approach best balances efficiency and accuracy?
A) Start a fresh session to ensure the agent works with current codebase state without stale assumptions
B) Resume the session without informing the agent about the changed files
C) Resume the session and immediately have the agent re-read all 12 previously analyzed files
D) Resume the session and inform the agent which specific files changed for targeted re-analysis
5. You are building a customer support resolution agent using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent handles high- ambiguity requests like returns, billing disputes, and account issues. It has access to your backend systems through custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools ( get_customer , lookup_order , process_refund , escalate_to_human ). Your target is 80%+ first-contact resolution while knowing when to escalate.
During testing, you find that when a customer says "I need a refund for my recent purchase," the agent calls process_refund immediately-but populates the required order_id parameter with a plausible-looking but fabricated value instead of first calling lookup_order to retrieve the actual order ID. The refund call fails because the fabricated ID doesn't exist.
Which change directly addresses the root cause of the agent fabricating the order_id value?
A) Update the process_refund tool description to explicitly state that order_id must be obtained from a prior lookup_order call and must never be assumed or invented.
B) Add server-side validation that checks whether the order_id exists in your database before executing the refund, returning an error to the agent if not found.
C) Pre-parse incoming customer messages to extract any order IDs mentioned, and inject them into the conversation context before passing to Claude.
D) Switch tool_choice from "auto" to "any" to force the agent to make a tool call on every turn.
