Question 5
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 - The web-search subagent returns results for only 3 of 5 requested source categories (competitor sites and industry reports succeed, but news archives and social feeds time out). The document analysis subagent successfully processes all provided documents. The synthesis subagent must produce a summary from mixed-quality upstream inputs. Which error-propagation strategy is most effective? Which error-propagation strategy is most effective?
- AContinue synthesis using only successful sources and produce an output without mentioning which data was unavailable.
- BThe synthesis subagent returns an error to the coordinator, triggering a full retry or task failure due to incomplete data.
- CThe synthesis subagent asks the coordinator to retry timed-out sources with a longer timeout before starting synthesis.
- DStructure the synthesis output with coverage annotations that indicate which conclusions are well-supported and where gaps exist due to unavailable sources.
