NEW QUESTION 34
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?

Add both servers to your local ~/.claude.json .

Add the venue server to .mcp.json and the playlist server to ~/.claude.json .

Add the venue server to ~/.claude.json and the playlist server to .mcp.json .

Add both servers to the project-level .mcp.json file.

NEW QUESTION 35
A company is building its first production Claude application. Which principle should guide the initial deployment?

Maximize prompt complexity immediately.

Start with a simple design and iteratively evaluate improvements.

Disable monitoring to reduce costs.

Optimize only for response speed.

NEW QUESTION 36
A company wants Claude to summarize thousands of support tickets efficiently. Which design scales BEST?

Send all tickets in one request.

Process tickets individually and combine summaries.

Increase temperature.

Remove system prompts.

NEW QUESTION 37
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 that 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 is the most effective approach to ensure proper source attribution in the final reports?

Have the report generator query the web-search agent to relocate sources for claims in the final report.

Have each agent output structured data that separates content summaries from source metadata, including URLs, document names, and page numbers.

Skip summarization and pass the complete raw outputs from the web-search and document-analysis agents directly to the report generator.

Instruct the synthesis agent to embed source references inline within its summary text using a consistent citation format.

NEW QUESTION 38
A customer contacts the agent about a warranty claim on a power drill. Resolving this requires multiple sequential tool calls: get_customer to look up their account, lookup_order to find the purchase details, and then either process_refund or escalate_to_human depending on warranty eligibility. You’re implementing the agentic loop that orchestrates these steps using the Claude API. What is the primary mechanism your application uses to determine whether to continue the loop or stop?

You manually set the tool_choice parameter to “none” after the final expected tool call to force Claude to stop requesting tools.

You check whether Claude’s response contains a text content block – if text is present, the agent has produced its final answer and the loop should exit.

You track the number of tool calls made and exit the loop once a preconfigured maximum is reached.

You check the stop_reason field in each API response – the loop continues while it equals
“tool_use” and exits when it changes to “end_turn” or another terminal value.

NEW QUESTION 39
Production logs reveal inconsistent error handling: when lookup_order fails, the agent sometimes retries 5+ times (wasteful when the order ID doesn’t exist), sometimes escalates immediately (premature for temporary network issues), and sometimes asks users for clarification (inappropriate when the issue is a backend permission error). Investigation shows your MCP tool returns uniform error responses: {“isError”: true, “content”: [{“type”: “text”, “text”: “Operation failed”}]}. The agent cannot distinguish between error types. What’s the most effective improvement?

Create an analyze_error MCP tool the agent calls after any failure to determine the error category and recommended action.

Add few-shot examples to the system prompt demonstrating how to interpret error message patterns and select appropriate responses for each.

Enhance error responses with structured metadata: include errorCategory (transient/validation/permission), isRetryable boolean, and a description of what caused the failure.

Implement retry logic with exponential backoff in your MCP server for all errors, returning to the agent only after retries are exhausted.

NEW QUESTION 40
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, and Glob-and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
After adding an MCP server with specialized code-refactoring tools-extract_function, rename_variable, and inline_function-you notice that the agent still uses basic text manipulation through Write and Bash sed commands for refactoring tasks. The MCP server is connected and healthy. Examining the configuration, you find that each MCP tool has a minimal description such as, “extract_function: Extracts a function from code.” What is the most effective way to improve adoption of the MCP refactoring tools?

Implement a request classifier that detects refactoring intent and automatically routes those requests to the MCP server before the agent processes them.

Accept this as expected behavior because simpler tools such as sed are more predictable than specialized refactoring tools.

Enhance the MCP tool descriptions to explain when each tool is preferable to text manipulation and clarify expected inputs and outputs.

Remove the Write tool from the agent’s configuration for refactoring sessions so it must use the MCP tools for code modifications.

NEW QUESTION 41
You are building a structured data extraction system using Claude. The system extracts information from unstructured documents, validates the output using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schemas, and maintains high accuracy. It must handle edge cases gracefully and integrate with downstream systems.
Monitoring shows 12% of extractions fail Pydantic validation with specific errors like “expected float for quantity, got `2 to 3′”. Retrying these requests without modification produces identical failures.
What’s the most effective approach to recover from these validation failures?

Send a follow-up request including the validation error, asking the model to correct its output.

Set temperature to 0 to eliminate output variability and ensure consistent formatting.

Pre-process source documents to standardize problematic formats before sending them for extraction.

Implement a secondary pipeline using a larger model tier to reprocess documents that fail validation.

NEW QUESTION 42
You are building a structured data extraction system using Claude. The system extracts information from unstructured documents, validates the output using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schemas, and maintains high accuracy. It must handle edge cases gracefully and integrate with downstream systems.
Your system extracts event metadata (date, location, organizer, attendee_count) from news articles using a JSON schema with all nullable fields. During evaluation, you observe the model frequently generates plausible but incorrect values for fields not mentioned in the article-for example, outputting “500” for attendee_count when the source contains no attendance information.
What’s the most effective way to reduce these false extractions?

Upgrade to a more capable model tier with improved instruction-following to reduce hallucination tendencies.

Make all schema fields required (non-nullable) with strict validation rules to ensure the model only outputs verifiable data.

Add prompt instructions to return null for any field where information is not directly stated in the source.

Add a post-processing step using a second LLM call to verify each extracted value exists in the source document.

NEW QUESTION 43
A team wants to reduce hallucinations without significantly changing application logic. Which improvement should be implemented FIRST?

Raise temperature.

Add reliable retrieval sources.

Shorten all outputs.

Remove role instructions.

NEW QUESTION 44
The automated review consistently flags patterns your team uses intentionally–force-unwrapping optionals in test files, using large coordinator classes that follow your established architecture, and importing internally maintained modules marked as deprecated in the public SDK.
Developers are dismissing approximately 30% of all findings as project-specific false positives.
Which approach prevents the model from generating these findings in the first place by supplying the project’s conventions as persistent context during every review?

Build post-processing keyword filters that suppress findings containing terms such as “force unwrap,” “large class,” or “deprecated import” before results reach developers.

Configure the review to analyze only the changed lines in the diff without surrounding file context, reducing the amount of code the model evaluates during each review.

Have developers add inline suppression comments at flagged lines and preprocess diffs to exclude suppressed lines before sending code to the model.

Document the team’s accepted patterns and intentional conventions in the project’s CLAUDE.md file so the model receives this context during every review.

NEW QUESTION 45
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 used Claude Code yesterday to investigate authentication flows in a legacy monolith, building up significant context over a 2-hour session. Today she wants to continue that specific investigation. She’s worked on three other codebases since then and knows the session was named “auth-deep-dive”.
How should she resume?

Use –session-id with the UUID from yesterday’s session transcript file

Use –continue to pick up where the most recent conversation left off

Start fresh and re-read the same files

Use –resume auth-deep-dive to load that specific session by name

NEW QUESTION 46
You are building a multi-agent research system using the Claude Agent SDK. A coordinator agent delegates to specialized subagents: one searches the web, one analyzes documents, one synthesizes findings, and one generates reports. The system researches topics and produces comprehensive, cited reports.
In production, you observe that simple fact-checking queries, such as “In what year was the Paris Climate Agreement signed?”, traverse all four subagents sequentially, consuming more than 40 seconds and significant tokens per query. Complex comparative research benefits from the complete pipeline. Your query distribution is diverse and continues to evolve as users discover new applications.
What is the most effective approach to optimize for varying query complexity?

Create a fast path for factual questions that bypasses subagents entirely, routing every other query through the complete pipeline.

Train a query-complexity classifier using labeled historical data to predict the optimal subagent combination, retraining it periodically.

Implement pattern-based routing that classifies queries as single-fact, comparative, or analytical and maps each category to a predefined subagent combination.

Have the coordinator analyze each query and dynamically determine which subagents are required.

NEW QUESTION 47
You are building a structured data extraction system using Claude. The system extracts information from unstructured documents, validates the output using JSON schemas, and maintains high accuracy. It must handle edge cases gracefully and integrate with downstream systems.
Your extraction pipeline occasionally receives responses that cannot be parsed as valid JSON, causing downstream processing failures. The current implementation prompts Claude to return JSON in the response text and then parses it.
What is the most reliable approach to ensure Claude returns valid, schema-compliant structured data?

Add explicit formatting instructions to the prompt with JSON examples, emphasizing that Claude must return only valid JSON with no surrounding text.

Use regular expressions to locate and extract JSON from the response text, handling cases where Claude includes explanatory text around the JSON block.

Define a tool with a JSON schema specifying the expected structure, using tool use to constrain Claude’ s output to schema-compliant JSON.

Implement a retry loop that catches JSON parsing errors and re-prompts Claude with the error details, asking it to correct the malformed output.

NEW QUESTION 48
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.
You’ve configured your Claude agent with three MCP servers: one for git operations, one for Jira ticket management, and one for documentation search.
When a user asks the agent to “create a branch for JIRA-123 and add documentation links to the ticket,” how does the agent access tools across these servers?

Tools from all configured MCP servers are discovered at connection time and available simultaneously to the agent.

The agent queries each server sequentially to determine which handles each tool, routing calls based on tool name prefixes.

The agent automatically selects the most relevant server based on the request and loads only that server’s tools.

You must specify which MCP server to use for each turn, and the agent can only access one server’s tools at a time.

NEW QUESTION 49
The document-analysis agent has a single analyze_document tool that accepts a document and a free-text instruction parameter. During evaluation, requests such as “extract the key financial metrics” often return narrative summaries, while “summarize the methodology” sometimes returns raw data tables. The synthesis agent reports that 35% of analysis results require new requests with clarified instructions. What is the most effective way to improve reliability?

Split the generic tool into purpose-specific tools-extract_data_points, summarize_content, and verify_claim_against_source-each with defined input and output contracts.

Retain the single tool but add an analysis_type enum requiring explicit selection among extraction, summarization, and verification modes.

Have the coordinator preclassify each analysis request before passing instructions to the document- analysis agent.

Enhance the tool description with detailed examples showing how different instruction phrasings should map to different output formats.

NEW QUESTION 50
Users report that final reports sometimes lack depth on specific subtopics. Investigation shows that the document-analysis agent frequently identifies evidence gaps-for example, noting that “the retrieved sources discuss API authentication but lack details about token-refresh patterns.” Under the current strict pipeline, this insight is not actionable because searching has already finished. What is the most effective architectural change?

Add a research-planning agent before the initial search phase to decompose every topic into detailed subquestions.

Have the synthesis agent assign confidence scores to each report section and flag insufficiently supported sections for manual review.

Require the analysis agent to return specific evidence gaps to the coordinator, which launches targeted searches and invokes analysis again until the defined coverage criteria are satisfied.

Have the coordinator look for general gap indicators in the analysis output and run additional searches without repeating the analysis stage.

NEW QUESTION 51
An application frequently repeats the same background instructions in every API request. What is a potential downside?

Lower reliability.

Higher token usage and cost.

Reduced model capability.

Increased hallucinations only.
