   A company has an MCP server for a customer database. The server works for most users, but one user reports that the agent says 'I cannot access the customer database tool.' Other users can use the tool successfully. The MCP server logs show no requests from this user's session. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe MCP server is down for maintenance during the user's session.
   • BThe user's browser cache is preventing the MCP server from loading.
   • CThe MCP server's API key expired for this specific user.
   • DThe user's GitLab Duo role does not have permission to use MCP tools, or the tool is restricted to specific groups.

   An organization has connected two MCP servers: one for a CRM and one for a ticketing system. Both expose a tool named 'search_records'. Users report that when they ask the agent to search records, it sometimes uses the CRM and sometimes the ticketing system, with inconsistent results. What should the administrator do to make the behavior predictable?

   • ARename the tools on one of the MCP servers so each has a unique name, such as 'search_crm_records' and 'search_ticket_records'.
   • BDisable both MCP servers and re-enable them one at a time.
   • CAsk users to specify the server name before every query.
   • DMerge both MCP servers into a single server with combined tools.

   A DevOps team wants the GitLab Duo agent to query their internal incident-management system (a proprietary REST API) during chat conversations so it can summarize open incidents without manual copy-paste. The API is only reachable from the corporate network. Which approach should the team take?

   • AExport the incident data to a public cloud storage bucket and instruct the agent to read from that bucket.
   • BInstall the MCP server directly on the GitLab Duo agent's host so it can access the API through localhost.
   • CAsk the agent to use its built-in HTTP tool to call the REST API directly from the chat conversation.
   • DConfigure an MCP server that wraps the REST API, host it on a machine with corporate network access, and register it in GitLab Duo's MCP settings.
