AB-100 Certification Practice Question #45

Question

A company uses Microsoft Foundry agents.

You need to ensure that an agent can dynamically use external tools at runtime without updating the agent.

What should you include in the solution?

Accepted Answer

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that allows AI agents to dynamically discover and invoke external tools at runtime. By connecting to an MCP server, a Microsoft Foundry agent can query what tools are available and call them without the agent itself needing to be updated when new tools are added. This is precisely the "dynamic tool use without agent updates" capability described in the question.
