What these questions test

• applying privacy, security, testing, and governance thinking to AI-powered Salesforce workflows
• interpreting business scenarios where an AI agent must stay within approved data and process boundaries

Sample Exam Questions

These questions are original IT Mastery preview items. They are written for AI-agent decision quality, not as official Salesforce exam questions.

Question 1

Topic: agent fit

A service team wants an agent to answer billing-policy questions using approved help content, but refund approvals must remain with supervisors. What is the best design approach?

• A. Let the agent approve every refund if the customer asks politely
• B. Use the agent for grounded policy responses and route refund approval requests to the supervisor process
• C. Disable all knowledge grounding
• D. Give the agent unrestricted access to all customer data

Best answer: B

Explanation: A strong agent design separates informational assistance from controlled business decisions. The agent can answer grounded policy questions, but refund approvals should follow the authorized human or workflow process.

Question 2

Topic: grounding

An agent gives confident answers that are inconsistent with the company’s current warranty policy. What should be checked first?

• A. Whether the agent’s responses are grounded in the approved, current knowledge source
• B. Whether users like the button colour
• C. Whether the agent name is short
• D. Whether the dashboard has enough charts

Best answer: A

Explanation: If responses contradict policy, the first concern is grounding: what source content the agent is allowed to use, whether it is current, and whether instructions constrain the answer.

Question 3

Topic: escalation

A customer says they may sue unless a high-value claim is resolved today. What should an AI agent do?

• A. Make a legal commitment on behalf of the company
• B. Offer a settlement from any available account
• C. Follow the configured escalation or handoff path for legal/high-risk situations
• D. Delete the conversation

Best answer: C

Explanation: High-risk legal or financial scenarios should be escalated. An agent should not invent commitments or settlements outside approved authority.

Question 4

Topic: trust controls

A proposed agent will summarize customer records that include sensitive personal data. What control is most important before launch?

• A. Give the agent access to every object to avoid errors
• B. Remove audit logs because AI decisions are automatic
• C. Publish all summaries to a public channel
• D. Confirm access controls, data-use boundaries, logging, and user permissions for the agent’s actions

Best answer: D

Explanation: Agent design must respect data security and privacy. Access, logging, and permission boundaries are part of the trust layer, especially when sensitive data is summarized.

Question 5

Topic: prompt behavior

An agent repeatedly answers with too much detail and misses the required closing question. What is the best improvement?

• A. Add clearer instructions for response structure, required steps, and closing behavior, then test with representative conversations
• B. Remove all instructions
• C. Let users rewrite every answer manually
• D. Disable the customer channel

Best answer: A

Explanation: Prompt and instruction design should guide format, steps, tone, and required behavior. Changes should be tested with realistic examples before release.

Question 6

Topic: testing

Before deploying an agent to production, what test set is most valuable?

• A. Only one happy-path conversation
• B. Realistic happy paths, edge cases, restricted-data cases, escalation cases, and failure scenarios
• C. A list of dashboard names
• D. A test that only checks whether the agent icon loads

Best answer: B

Explanation: AI-agent testing should include expected and risky behavior. Edge cases, restricted data, escalation, and failures show whether the agent stays within approved boundaries.

Question 7

Topic: business value

A team proposes an agent for a process that happens twice per year and already takes five minutes manually. What should be evaluated?

• A. Whether every process needs an agent
• B. Whether the agent can replace all employees
• C. Whether the process name sounds modern
• D. Whether the agent has a clear business value, risk profile, and maintenance justification

Best answer: D

Explanation: Agent use should be justified by business value and risk. A low-volume, low-effort process may not warrant the design, testing, governance, and maintenance cost.

Question 8

Topic: data access

An agent should answer order-status questions for authenticated customers only. What should the implementation respect?

• A. Anonymous access to all orders
• B. A single shared test customer for all users
• C. Customer identity, record access, data minimization, and approved response boundaries
• D. Manual copying of order data into chat

Best answer: C

Explanation: The agent should answer only with data the customer is entitled to see. Identity, permissions, and response constraints are central to safe self-service.

Question 9

Topic: human oversight

An agent drafts responses for complex complaint cases. Agents are allowed to send responses only after a service manager approves them. What pattern is being used?

• A. Human-in-the-loop review
• B. Unrestricted autonomous execution
• C. Public data sharing
• D. Field-level security removal

Best answer: A

Explanation: Human-in-the-loop review keeps a person responsible for approving sensitive or complex outputs. This can reduce risk while still improving drafting efficiency.

Question 10

Topic: monitoring

After launch, users report that the agent sometimes recommends outdated troubleshooting steps. What should the owner monitor and review?

• A. Only the total number of chat messages
• B. Only the agent’s display name
• C. Response quality, source-content freshness, user feedback, escalation rates, and failed-resolution patterns
• D. Nothing after production release

Best answer: C

Explanation: Agents need post-launch monitoring. Quality trends, source freshness, escalation, and failed resolutions help identify whether the agent is still reliable.

Question 11

Topic: automation boundary

An agent can identify that a customer is eligible for a plan change, but the change affects billing and contract terms. What is the safest design?

• A. Let the agent change the contract without confirmation
• B. Provide eligibility information and route the final contract change through the approved process
• C. Ignore eligibility questions
• D. Share the customer’s contract with all chat users

Best answer: B

Explanation: Eligibility explanation and contract execution are different risk levels. The final billing or contract change should follow approved authorization and audit controls.

Question 12

Topic: governance

Which question should be answered before giving an AI agent a new action capability?

• A. Whether the action has a catchy name
• B. Whether no one will review the output
• C. Whether all data can be made public
• D. Who can invoke it, what data it can use, what approval is needed, how errors are logged, and how rollback works

Best answer: D

Explanation: Action capabilities require governance. The design should define permissions, data boundaries, approval, logging, error handling, and rollback before the agent can act.
