Question 53
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: Customer Support Agent - Production metrics show your agent averages 4+ API loops per resolution. Analysis reveals Claude often requests `get_customer` and `lookup_order` in separate sequential turns even when both are needed initially. What is the most effective way to reduce the number of loops? What is the most effective way to reduce loops?
- AImplement speculative execution that automatically calls likely-needed tools in parallel with any requested tool and returns all results regardless of what was requested.
- BIncrease `max_tokens` to give Claude more room to plan and naturally combine tool requests.
- CCreate composite tools like `get_customer_with_orders` that bundle common lookup combinations into single calls.
- DInstruct Claude in the prompt to bundle tool requests into one turn and return all results together before the next API call.
