Anthropic Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCA-F) Sample Questions:
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.
After expanding the agent's MCP tools with delivery-specific capabilities ( check_delivery_status , contact_driver , issue_credit , apply_promo_code , update_delivery_address , reschedule delivery ), the total tool count has grown from 4 to 10. Your evaluation suite shows tool selection accuracy has dropped from 88% to 71%. Log analysis reveals the majority of errors involve the agent selecting between semantically overlapping tools - calling issue_credit when process_refund was correct, and calling check_delivery_status when lookup_order already returns the needed data. Which approach structurally eliminates the semantic overlap identified in the logs as the error source?
- A. Enable the tool search tool with defer_loading on the six new tools, keeping the original four always loaded, so the agent dynamically discovers specialized tools only when needed.
- B. Split the tools across two sub-agents - a "financial resolution" agent with process_refund , issue_credit ,and apply_promo_code , and a "delivery operations" agent with the remaining delivery tools - with a coordinator routing between them.
- C. Consolidate semantically overlapping tools - merge issue_credit and process_refund into a single resolve_compensation tool with an action parameter, and fold check_delivery_status into lookup_order with an optional include_tracking flag.
- D. Add few-shot examples to the system prompt demonstrating correct selection for each ambiguous tool pair, such as showing when issue_credit applies versus when process_refund is appropriate.

The synthesis agent receives summarized findings from the web search and document analysis agents, then passes a consolidated summary to the report generator. During testing, you discover the generated reports make factual claims without proper citations - the report generator cannot attribute statements to their original sources because that metadata was lost during the summarization steps. What's the most effective approach to ensure proper source attribution in the final reports?
- A. Instruct the synthesis agent to embed source references inline within its summary text using a consistent citation format.
- B. Have the report generator query the web search agent to re-locate sources for claims in the final report.
- C. Have each agent output structured data separating content summaries from source metadata (URLs, document names, page numbers).
- D. Skip summarization and pass full raw outputs from web search and document analysis directly to the report generator.

Your content curation agent discovers articles, analyzes each for relevance, then adds selected articles to themed collections. With separate discover_articles(topic), analyze_article(id), and add_to_collection(article_id, collection_id) tools, you observe 18+ sequential tool calls per request, causing latency issues. The agent must make editorial judgments about which articles fit a collection's theme - this requires seeing all candidates with their analysis scores simultaneously to select a cohesive set. What tool composition best addresses efficiency while preserving editorial judgment?
- A. Keep all tools separate but implement response caching for analyze_article calls.
- B. Create a curate_collection(topic, collection_id) tool that handles discovery, analysis, and selection internally using configurable quality thresholds.
- C. Add a preview_curation(topic, collection_id) tool that shows what would be added based on predefined rules, with an approve_curation() tool to confirm.
- D. Create a discover_and_analyze(topic) composite tool that returns all candidates with their analysis scores, keeping add_to_collection separate for selective calls.

Which statement BEST describes Retrieval-Augmented Generation?
- A. It changes token pricing.
- B. It permanently retrains Claude.
- C. It supplies relevant external knowledge during inference.
- D. It compresses model weights.

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's CLAUDE.md includes a rule: "Use 4-space indentation and always run Prettier formatting." Despite this, code reviews reveal that roughly 30% of files Claude Code generates use inconsistent formatting - sometimes 2-space indentation, sometimes missing trailing commas. Adding emphasis ("IMPORTANT: You MUST use Prettier formatting") reduces violations to about 15%, but doesn't eliminate them. What is the most effective way to ensure all generated code is consistently formatted?
- A. Split the formatting rules into path-scoped .claude/rules/files that load when Claude works on matching file types.
- B. Configure a PostToolUse hook with an Edit|Write matcher that automatically runs Prettier on each file Claude modifies.
- C. Extract the formatting rules into a dedicated skill that Claude loads automatically when generating code, with more detailed examples of correct formatting.
- D. Add a Stop hook with a prompt-based check that evaluates whether generated code follows formatting standards and prompts Claude to fix violations.
