AI-103 Implement Generative AI And Agentic Solutions Practice Question
You are building an autonomous agentic workflow using Microsoft Foundry and Semantic Kernel. You need to ensure the agent operates safely and adheres to human oversight requirements. Which THREE design patterns should you apply? (Choose three.)
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
✓
Implement human-in-the-loop approval gates before the agent executes high-impact tool actions such as database updates or financial transactions.
Human-in-the-loop approval gates, transaction boundaries, and rate limiting ensure safe agentic execution.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Grant the agent root-level administrative access to all cloud infrastructure services.
Why it's wrong here
Granting root access violates the principle of least privilege and introduces extreme security risks.
- ✓
Implement human-in-the-loop approval gates before the agent executes high-impact tool actions such as database updates or financial transactions.
Why this is correct
Human approval gates prevent autonomous execution of destructive or sensitive actions.
- ✓
Configure strict idempotency keys for external tool calls to prevent duplicate actions if retried.
Why this is correct
Idempotency ensures safe retries without executing duplicate side effects.
- ✓
Implement circuit breakers to halt agent execution if error rates or token consumption spike abnormally.
Why this is correct
Circuit breakers protect against cascading failures and runaway agent behavior.
- ✗
Allow the agent unlimited recursive tool execution without loop detection.
Why it's wrong here
Unlimited recursion leads to infinite loops and runaway costs.
