Microsoft Designing and Implementing Multi-Agent AI Solutions Sample Questions:
You need to recommend changes to decrease the Claim Approval duration without breaking any existing functionality.
What should you recommend?
- A. Run Fraud-check, Policy-eligibility, Document-summary, and Decision sequentially. Increase the TPM quota.
- B. Run Fraud-check, Policy-eligibility, Document-summary, and Decision sequentially. Decrease the TPM quota.
- C. Run Fraud-check, Policy-eligibility, Document-summary, and Decision concurrently. Disable the memory store.
- D. Run Fraud-check, Policy-eligibility, and Document-summary concurrently. Run Decision after they finish.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️

You have a Microsoft Foundry multi-agent solution. The solution includes an orchestrator agent that sends a mix of simple requests, reasoning-heavy tasks, and tool-calling workflows to a single premium model deployment.
Response quality is acceptable, but costs are too high, and latency varies significantly across requests.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce token utilization based on the complexity of the user input.
What should you include in the recommendation?
- A. Prompt Optimizer
- B. structured outputs
- C. a flagship model
- D. model router

You need to implement an advanced prompt engineering strategy to resolve the Patient Intake agent issues.
The solution must prevent hardcoding new logic into the agent ' s core prompt.
What should you do?
- A. Inject dynamic context that contains a curated list of few-shot examples illustrating how to parse similar inputs.
- B. Increase the frequency of full model fine-tuning on all the patient chat logs.
- C. Remove defensive guidelines from the prompt to provide the model with more creative freedom.
- D. Decrease the context window limit to force the patients to write shorter responses.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for SurePassExams members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You have a Microsoft Foundry project that processes customer requests through several stages: A routing agent receives investigation requests, delegates calculations to a data analysis agent that can use Code Interpreter, and delegates source-grounded summaries to a literature review agent.
You discover the following issues:
* Tasks are sometimes routed to the incorrect agent.
* The format of the final response is inconsistent.
You need to ensure that compound requests are routed consistently, and the final response is in a consistent format. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Minimize changes to the application code.
* Apply to every future conversation handled by the agents.
* Clarify the expected behavior for representative compound inputs.
Which prompt design should you implement?
- A. Add system level role instructions that define agent domains, task boundaries, and response objectives.
- B. Add few-shot instruction examples that cover routing decisions and schema-compliant final outputs.
- C. Add per request prompt cues that provide JSON openers, section labels, and final-answer prefixes.
- D. Add repository-wide constraints that list approved agent names, tool names, and response rules.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

You have a Microsoft Foundry project that contains a coordinator agent for claims processing.
You have an existing fraud analysis agent hosted outside of Foundry. The agent exposes a standards-based HTTPS endpoint, publishes the supported s kills and media types, and requires authenticated requests.
You need to configure the coordinator agent to invoke the fraud analysis agent. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Use the interoperable invocation interface.
Use the published capability discovery contract.
Reuse stored authentication across versions of the coordinator agent.
How should you configure the integration? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Integration mechanism: Agent-to-Agent (A2A) tool; Capability discovery contract: Agent cards; Credential and endpoint configuration: A Foundry project A2A connection.
The remote fraud service is an autonomous agent that exposes a standards-based HTTPS endpoint and publishes its skills and media types, which matches the Agent-to-Agent protocol rather than a conventional tool API. A2A uses an agent card as the capability-discovery contract, allowing the coordinator to discover supported skills, formats, and invocation details without coupling to the remote framework ' s implementation.
Microsoft Foundry project A2A connections store the remote endpoint and authentication configuration so credentials can be reused across coordinator-agent versions instead of being embedded separately in every version. Together, the A2A tool, agent card, and project connection satisfy interoperable invocation, capability discovery, and reusable authentication. This is the supported Microsoft architecture for calling an external A2A-compatible agent from a Foundry coordinator. The configuration should be kept in the project connection rather than prompt text so authentication remains centrally managed, auditable, and reusable as the coordinator evolves. This also avoids duplicating sensitive connection settings across agent versions.
