Agents & Workflows — CCDV-F Practice Question
A representative Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F) exam question on Agents & Workflows. Work through it below, then read why each option is right or wrong.
Short answer
The correct answer is D. A deterministic workflow that calls Claude only for the extraction step and uses code for validation and writing.
The sequence and control logic are known, so deterministic orchestration is simpler and safer. Claude can handle the ambiguous extraction while code enforces schema and write rules.
The Question
A document pipeline always performs the same three steps: extract fields, validate them against a schema, and write an approved record. Which design is the best default?
Why D is correct
The sequence and control logic are known, so deterministic orchestration is simpler and safer. Claude can handle the ambiguous extraction while code enforces schema and write rules.
Why the other options are wrong
Option A does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (D) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option B does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (D) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option C does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (D) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Key idea: Agents & Workflows
The sequence and control logic are known, so deterministic orchestration is simpler and safer. Claude can handle the ambiguous extraction while code enforces schema and write rules. On the CCDV-F exam, questions in the "Agents and Workflows" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
