A company has multiple MCP servers, each with its own authentication mechanism. They want to simplify the agent's access to these servers. What is the best approach?

Use a single server that aggregates all other servers

Create a separate client for each server

Embed the authentication credentials in the agent's code

Use a single MCP client that handles authentication for each server

A team wants to create a reusable prompt for handling customer complaints. The prompt should guide the agent to apologize, offer a solution, and follow up. However, the team also wants the prompt to be adaptable to different complaint types. What should they do?

Create a separate prompt for each complaint type

Use a resource that contains all possible complaint types

Create a prompt template with placeholders for the complaint type and solution

Use a tool to handle complaints instead of a prompt

A company has an MCP server that exposes a tool to update customer records. The tool requires a customer ID and the fields to update. The agent needs to update a customer's phone number. The agent has the customer ID but not the current phone number. What should the agent do?

Invoke the update tool with a placeholder for the current phone number

Request the customer record resource to get the current phone number, then invoke the update tool with the new number

Use a prompt to ask the user for the current phone number

Invoke the update tool with only the customer ID and the new phone number
