AI-102 Implement an agentic solution Practice Question
You are implementing an agentic solution using Azure AI Agent Service with multiple agents that need to collaborate. Each agent has access to different knowledge bases. You want to ensure that the agents can share context and hand off tasks to each other seamlessly. Which architecture should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume sequential chaining (Option D) is sufficient for handoffs, but they overlook the need for a shared context store to maintain state across agent boundaries, which is a core requirement for seamless collaboration in agentic solutions.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a supervisor agent that delegates to specialized agents, with a shared context store in Azure Cosmos DB
The supervisor agent pattern with a shared context store (e.g., Azure Cosmos DB) enables multiple agents to maintain a consistent conversation state and hand off tasks seamlessly. The supervisor orchestrates specialized agents, each with its own knowledge base, while the shared store ensures context is preserved across agent boundaries, which is essential for collaborative agentic workflows in Azure AI Agent Service.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a single monolithic agent that includes all knowledge bases
Why it's wrong here
Monolithic agent is not scalable.
- ✗
Deploy each agent independently and configure them to call each other via HTTP
Why it's wrong here
Independent agents lack shared context.
- ✓
Use a supervisor agent that delegates to specialized agents, with a shared context store in Azure Cosmos DB
Why this is correct
Supervisor pattern with shared context enables seamless handoff.
- ✗
Chain the agents sequentially, passing output from one to the next
Why it's wrong here
Sequential chaining is rigid.
