AI-102 Implement an agentic solution Practice Question
You are designing an agentic solution that uses Azure AI Agent Service to answer customer support queries. The agent needs to retrieve information from a knowledge base stored in Azure AI Search. Which tool should you enable for the agent?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the Knowledge base tool with Function calling, assuming any external data retrieval requires a custom function, but the Knowledge base tool is a first-party, no-code integration specifically for Azure AI Search indexes.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Knowledge base
The Knowledge base tool is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to connect an Azure AI Agent to an Azure AI Search index, enabling retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) from structured or unstructured knowledge sources. This tool allows the agent to query the search index and return relevant chunks of information to answer customer support queries without custom code.
