To keep the main agent's context clean while investigating a complex authentication flow, which architectural pattern is highly recommended?

• A.Spawn a subagent to isolate the verbose exploration output, returning only a focused summary to the main agent.
• B.Use the Message Batches API to process the exploration synchronously.
• C.Apply progressive summarization to the main conversation history every 2 turns.
• D.Use the fork_session command to duplicate the main agent permanently.

What is a primary architectural limitation of using a fixed prompt chaining pipeline for a complex debugging task?

• A.It cannot dynamically adapt its approach if an intermediate analysis step reveals an unexpected root cause.
• B.It inherently exceeds the maximum token limit of the context window faster than single prompts.
• C.It requires the use of the Message Batches API, adding a 24-hour latency to the execution.
• D.It forces the agent to use tool_choice: any, bypassing deterministic programmatic hooks.

A PreToolUse hook is configured to intercept and block unauthorized file reads based on restricted file paths. How does the hook properly communicate the specific blocking reason back to Claude so the model can adapt?

• A.By silently returning an empty JSON array [ ] to the context window.
• B.By returning an exit code of 2 and writing the explanation to standard error, which is fed back as context.
• C.By completely terminating the session and initiating a new one with a revised system prompt.
• D.By overriding the context window entirely with an 'access denied' templated message.

Which of the following statements represent correct principles of multi-agent orchestration design? Choose 2 correct answers.

• A.Parallel execution of subagents is achieved by emitting multiple Task tool calls in a single coordinator response.
• B.A flat architecture where all agents share a global state is generally preferred over a hub-and-spoke architecture.
• C.The coordinator should route all inter-subagent communication to maintain observability and consistent error handling.
• D.Subagents should automatically inherit the coordinator's memory across invocations to save token costs.
