Anthropic CCA-F Practice Test 3

Question 20

Two research subagents assigned to evaluate a new cloud database independently scrape the same pricing page and omit deployment risks. Select TWO complementary changes to improve both specialist efficiency and coverage.

  1. Allocate distinct source or risk dimensions to the workers and have the coordinator check combined coverage.
  2. Ask both agents to scrape the pricing page more often to verify it has not changed.
  3. Hide one agent's work so the coordinator cannot see duplicate coverage.
  4. Require the final synthesis to describe cost only because both workers happened to find pricing data.
  5. Give each specialist written scope boundaries and an evidence-output contract that exposes uncovered deployment risks.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Distinct assignments such as pricing economics and architecture/operational risk use specialists efficiently. The coordinator can compare coverage against the original question and redirect a targeted follow-up when gaps remain.

E:

Narrow briefs and comparable evidence fields make the assignments testable; the coordinator can identify which operating-risk questions still lack evidence instead of merely counting completed search calls.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Repeating the identical lookup may confirm one price but cannot supply missing risk information. It increases calls without improving topical breadth.

C:

The coordinator needs a shared view of results to detect duplication and resolve gaps. Concealing evidence prevents effective orchestration rather than reducing redundant work.

D:

An accidental narrow search does not redefine the customer requirement. Production trade-off analysis needs more than the only topic agents happened to investigate.

Question 21

A multi-agent market brief contains detailed product comparisons but omits vendor lock-in risks. The coordinator notices this gap after the first synthesis. What should it do?

  1. Restart the entire research project with the same prompts regardless of what is already correct.
  2. Produce the report as complete because the first synthesis stage has finished.
  3. Delegate a narrow lock-in investigation, merge its sourced findings, and rerun only the affected synthesis.
  4. Limit the final report to available product features without disclosing that the lock-in section was never researched.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The coordinator should evaluate coverage, identify the missing lock-in analysis and request targeted evidence. Integrating that result yields a better report without wasting prior verified work.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Restarting validated research makes the system slower and can introduce new errors. A localized coverage defect calls for focused follow-up work.

B:

Finishing an initial synthesis is not the same as satisfying the requested topic coverage. Publishing a knowingly incomplete risk assessment hides a material limitation.

D:

A narrower report might be acceptable if the customer agrees to the scope change. Presenting the original request as fully answered would conceal a known missing risk dimension.

Question 22

A search specialist discovers primary documents and an analysis specialist extracts cost claims. Their software currently allows agents to message one another without recording transfers. What design best supports controlled provenance?

  1. Let each agent send unlogged private direct messages to whichever worker it prefers.
  2. Route inter-agent result exchange through a coordinator with structured evidence and status handoffs.
  3. Have each specialist write final customer answers with no shared synthesis.
  4. Merge all subagent databases into one unrestricted global memory that any future task can modify.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Hub-and-spoke coordination gives one place to record which specialist produced each claim and which evidence supported it. The coordinator can enforce consistent validation, error handling and permitted data flows.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Unlogged peer messages make it hard to audit source origin and error handling. As the system scales, contradictory intermediate claims can bypass review.

C:

Independent final answers may be inconsistent and can omit the user's requested cross-source synthesis. They also complicate responsibility for factual reconciliation.

D:

An unrestricted global store increases cross-task leakage and weakens permission boundaries. Structured, task-scoped handoffs are safer than broad mutable shared memory.

Question 23

A coordinator hires a new synthesis agent but assumes it can automatically read the coordinator's six prior chat turns. The first report omits essential source limits. What principle was missed?

  1. Every subagent should receive the complete entire conversation history by default, even unrelated data.
  2. Source limitations may be discarded because the synthesis agent generates a final answer.
  3. The synthesis prompt can be blank if agent descriptions are sufficiently detailed.
  4. Subagents have isolated context; the coordinator must explicitly pass relevant findings, citations and limitations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Specialist execution typically runs with its own context. The coordinator should provide the evidence payload, source anchors and unanswered questions explicitly so the synthesis reflects the actual research.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Automatically copying the entire conversation can expose unrelated information and consume context needlessly. The required transfer is scoped evidence, not every past message.

B:

The original evidence limitations remain material to the truth of the final report. A final synthesis should preserve, not discard, uncertainty and source coverage boundaries.

C:

An agent description defines general responsibility but does not deliver the specific facts in this investigation. A blank prompt cannot communicate prior findings reliably.

Question 24

A research coordinator has configured three specialists, but each is told to search, verify, synthesize and publish the same long report without a defined role. What change best establishes accountable responsibilities?

  1. Assign discovery, verification and synthesis distinct scoped responsibilities, with one coordinator owning final integration and approval routing.
  2. Repeat the same entire report brief to all specialists until they independently agree.
  3. Delete the coordinator and allow each specialist to send customer-facing answers directly.
  4. Give every worker identical general-purpose tool names and all possible permissions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Specialist role boundaries let the coordinator trace who found evidence, who challenged claims and who compiled the answer. They reduce duplicate searching and prevent unreviewed agent output from bypassing the appointed synthesis owner.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Giving every worker the same broad search mission recreates the original overlapping responsibilities rather than separating stages.

C:

Eliminating the coordinator would remove the accountable integration and conflict-resolution point that the report needs.

D:

Identical vague tool names would increase routing ambiguity, not establish specialist responsibilities.

Question 25

A research web-search subagent fails because one provider returns 503. Two other specialist outputs have already completed. What is the coordinator's best response?

  1. Record the unavailable source, evaluate whether existing evidence is sufficient, and either retry narrowly or report partial coverage.
  2. Claim the web search returned no relevant evidence because it produced no usable records.
  3. Discard all completed outputs automatically and rerun every specialist until no failures are possible.
  4. Use the most recent cached provider excerpt as if it were a current result from the failed search.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The coordinator should retain successes and explicit failure context. It can decide whether to try a fallback, rerun only the failed query, or qualify conclusions supported by incomplete evidence.

Incorrect Answers

B:

An unavailable provider differs from a successful search with no matches. Treating a 503 as an empty result can cause false claims about the absence of information.

C:

Repeatedly restarting unaffected work increases cost and can alter sound findings. Failure recovery should focus on the actual failed dependency.

D:

A cache can be useful only if its timestamp, scope and status are explicit and appropriate. Passing it off as a successful current search would fabricate coverage of the unavailable source.

Question 26

A coordinator asks a report writer to produce conclusions before document-extraction workers finish processing the references. Which orchestration decision avoids false completeness?

  1. Ask the writer to assume every document has been read because all tasks were queued.
  2. Let the writer construct citations from plausible filenames while workers run.
  3. Wait for required extraction dependencies and explicit completion or gap statuses, then authorize synthesis.
  4. Remove the document references from the report scope to avoid waiting.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The coordinator enforces the data dependency between evidence collection and final synthesis. A completed extraction outcome or declared partial gap gives the writer the reliable inputs needed for appropriate conclusions.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Queued work is not completed evidence. Assuming success can lead to statements unsupported by the material that workers have not processed.

B:

Plausible citation strings are not proof that a claim exists in a referenced document. The report requires actual linked findings, not fabricated labels.

D:

Dropping references changes the user's deliverable and hides the unresolved requirement. A proper handoff reports any missing evidence explicitly rather than deleting scope.

Question 27

A customer revises a research request from general API costs to regional privacy and data-residency obligations. How should an adaptive coordinator respond?

  1. Preserve the original cost-only specialist routing because the initial plan is immutable.
  2. Reassess the revised evidence needs, invoke relevant policy and deployment specialists, and retain useful prior verified facts.
  3. Answer from the prior cost summary without checking new jurisdiction-specific requirements.
  4. Start a completely unrelated project and ignore the customer’s earlier verified application details.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The coordinator should map the new issues to the appropriate specialists and source types. It can reuse verified prior facts where relevant without treating a material scope change as a reason to restart everything blindly.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A fixed routing plan tailored to costs will not cover newly requested privacy obligations. Adaptive orchestration responds to the changed decision problem.

C:

Cost evidence alone cannot establish local-law or residency constraints. Answering without new relevant sources would overstate what was researched.

D:

Losing accurate customer and deployment context is unnecessary. A scoped adjustment can preserve valid context while extending research to the newly required areas.

Question 28

A stakeholder asks one AI report to cover both API threat modeling and contractual compliance. Which division of work best preserves specialized reasoning?

  1. Make the security worker choose legal clauses and the contract worker run penetration tests without specific permissions.
  2. Ask both workers to write the same general risk paragraph and concatenate their answers.
  3. Assign the final answer to whichever worker returns first, without reconciliation.
  4. Assign technical and governance evidence to appropriate specialists and let a coordinator integrate compatible conclusions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The coordinator can direct separate technical and contract workstreams, then reconcile their findings. That keeps each specialist focused while producing one report about the combined risks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Specialists should operate inside their own competence and authorized tools. Technical security testing and legal interpretation have different evidence and authority needs.

B:

Two broad repetitive paragraphs may double count risks and omit important distinctions. Concatenation is not a considered synthesis of different evidence types.

C:

Completion order does not determine factual adequacy or completeness. A fast answer can be narrow or based on incomplete sources.

Question 29

A coordinator delegates quarterly revenue research but a worker returns 'The company grew 11%' without identifying the report, year or page. What should happen before that number enters the final synthesis?

  1. Accept the percentage because it is a concrete numeric statement.
  2. Replace the 11% with 10% and call the figure an approximation.
  3. Request the source identity, reporting period and traceable location from the worker, then verify the claim.
  4. Replace the unsupported 11% figure with a broad statement of growth while leaving the period and source unverified.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The coordinator is responsible for evidence quality in synthesis. A structured claim-source mapping with document title, period and page makes the reported growth verifiable and permits uncertainty to be stated appropriately.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A specific value can still be wrong or apply to a different period. Quantification alone is not evidence of accuracy.

B:

Rounding changes a potentially material business result without resolving the absence of a cited source. It should not be used to mask a provenance failure.

D:

Removing a precise number can avoid repeating an unsupported statistic, but the customer still needs traceable revenue evidence rather than an uncited conclusion.

Question 30

An agent platform has search, extract, verify and report specialists connected in an unrestricted peer-to-peer mesh. Auditors cannot reconstruct which worker approved a contradictory source claim. What architecture best improves accountability?

  1. Give each agent access to a single global mutable answer field so all decisions converge instantly.
  2. Ignore the source disagreement if the final report has a fluent writing style.
  3. Authorize a provisional refund while the two policy interpretations are reconciled, planning to reverse it if needed.
  4. Use coordinator-mediated handoffs with recorded producer, source identifiers, status and decision history.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Central orchestration permits consistent evidence labeling, exception handling and clear decision ownership. A coordinator can trace which specialist produced and verified each claim before including it in the output.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A shared mutable answer field loses individual provenance and lets agents overwrite each other's findings. It does not create an auditable decision trail.

B:

Readability cannot establish evidence quality. A report may be polished while misrepresenting contradictory or stale claims.

C:

A payment side effect can be difficult or impossible to reverse. Conflicting authorization evidence is a reason to withhold the transaction until the applicable eligibility rule is resolved.
