Question 15
CCA-F is a newly released exam. These practice questions reflect our best current understanding — the exact wording and question formats may change in the live exam until the certification matures. Use them to learn the concepts, not to memorize.
Scenario: Multi-agent Research System - In testing, you observe that the synthesis agent often needs to verify specific claims while merging results. Currently, when verification is needed, the synthesis agent returns control to the coordinator, which calls the web-search agent and then re-invokes synthesis with the results. This adds 2–3 extra loops per task and increases latency by 40%. Your assessment shows 85% of these verifications are simple fact checks (dates, names, stats) and 15% require deeper research. Which approach most effectively reduces overhead while preserving system reliability? Which approach is most effective?
- AGive the synthesis agent access to all web-search tools so it can handle any verification need directly without coordinator loops.
- BHave the synthesis agent accumulate all verification needs and return them as a batch to the coordinator at the end, which then sends them all to the web-search agent at once.
- CHave the web-search agent proactively cache extra context around each source during initial research in anticipation of synthesis needing verification.
- DGive the synthesis agent a limited-scope `verify_fact` tool for simple checks, while routing complex verifications through the coordinator to the web-search agent.
