Question 250
An agentic AI adoption exercise reports: A help-desk agent is asked to inspect a user's ticket status, but its tool selector invokes a ticket-editing endpoint merely because both tools mention the same ticket identifier. Which observation confirms that the AI workflow now meets its intended constraint?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This specifically verifies research agent chooses update tool instead of read tool: A status question returns the accurate ticket state and produces no modification event, while an authorized edit flow uses a separate permission path. The related engineering correction is: Restrict this workflow to read-only ticket lookup and require separate explicit authority for any update or close action. Evidence from another workflow would not establish the stated outcome.
Incorrect Answers
A budget-exceeding fixture remains a draft pending approval, while a small purchase within explicit authority follows the approved workflow. “Constrain the purchase tool with a server-enforced monetary limit and require a named human approval for commitments beyond the allowed threshold” would remedy that alternative situation, but it would not correct the present issue: a status question returns the accurate ticket state and produces no modification event, while an authorized edit flow uses a separate permission path.
“Describe the current service accurately as a generative assistant or add separately authorized planning and tool execution only if the business requirement demands it” is the supported response when a functional test shows the original chatbot returning text without external side effects, and any upgraded agent performs explicitly authorized tracked actions. Here the decisive response is “Restrict this workflow to read-only ticket lookup and require separate explicit authority for any update or close action”, so that different intervention does not meet the stated requirement.
A delayed or failed reconciliation prevents publication and an approved complete fixture proceeds in the defined sequence. “Represent data reconciliation, quality checks, approval and publication as dependent stages, and let the agent advance only after required evidence is recorded” applies to that other condition. The reported evidence is a help-desk agent is asked to inspect a user's ticket status, but its tool selector invokes a ticket-editing endpoint merely because both tools mention the same ticket identifier; this alternative would address the wrong dependency.
