Unit 2 assessment — Retrieval and agents

Where the untrusted input actually enters: a document in the corpus, a tenant's data in a shared index, a tool result the agent believes, and a memory that carries an injection into tomorrow's session.

6 questions drawn from a bank of 9, in their own order with the options moved. Take it again and you sit a different paper.

  1. 1. An agent is granted a token with broad scope 'so it does not get blocked mid-task'. What is the argument against?

  6. 6. An agent's memory retains an instruction from a previous session and acts on it days later. What is the mitigation?
