1. Service agents cannot use generated summaries in Salesforce
2. Management permission is required to view any generated text
3. The agent needs execution access, while management access could allow unapproved template changes
4. Template-management permission improves the quality of case data
Correct answer: C. The agent needs execution access, while management access could allow unapproved template changes
- A. Incorrect. Service agents can use configured generated outputs when permitted.

Hard Data 360 fundamentals

Question 3

A company plans to ground an employee-service agent in documents that include salary ranges, benefits rules, and personally identifiable information. What is the best release approach?
1. Load the documents into a broad support library because internal agents are lower risk than customer agents
2. Ask users to report sensitive answers after rollout and adjust the library later
3. Use a restricted data space and library, validate permissions and masking behavior, test retrieval, and define source ownership
4. Store the documents outside Data 360 and tell the agent to ask users for missing details
Correct answer: C. Use a restricted data space and library, validate permissions and masking behavior, test retrieval, and define source ownership
- A. Incorrect. Internal use does not remove privacy or employment-data risk.
- B. Incorrect. User reports are not enough for a sensitive-data release gate.
- C. Correct. Sensitive employee data requires scoped access, Trust Layer review, retrieval testing, and ownership.
- D. Incorrect. Asking users for missing sensitive details can increase exposure and does not solve grounding governance.

Question 4

How does an Agentforce agent differ from a traditional fixed-dialog bot?
1. It has no need for topic design, permissions, or testing
2. It responds only with predefined button labels
3. It works by changing Salesforce metadata for each message
4. It uses reasoning, grounded data, and actions for flexible bounded tasks
Correct answer: D. It uses reasoning, grounded data, and actions for flexible bounded tasks
- A. Incorrect. Agents still require design, permissions, and testing.
- B. Incorrect. Fixed button labels describe rigid bot behavior, not the full Agentforce model.
- C. Incorrect. Conversations should not be implemented by changing metadata on each message.
- D. Correct. Agentforce uses generative reasoning and configured tools rather than relying solely on rigid dialog paths.

2. Delimited text such as CSV and columnar formats such as Parquet
3. XML metadata backups and Apex debug logs
4. Encrypted password vaults and browser cookies
Correct answer: B. Delimited text such as CSV and columnar formats such as Parquet
- A. Incorrect. Application packages and shortcuts are not structured data-stream formats.
- B. Correct. Data 360 supports structured file ingestion patterns such as delimited text and Parquet for data streams.
- C. Incorrect. Metadata backups and debug logs are not the standard tabular ingestion formats for Data 360 data streams.
- D. Incorrect. Password vaults and cookies are not appropriate Data 360 ingestion files.

Hard Governance and observability

Question 9

A company wants to use Agentforce for regulated insurance eligibility explanations. Which governance sequence is strongest?
1. Choose the model that gives the shortest answer in Model Playground and deploy it quickly
2. Use the model card alone because runtime trust controls are handled later

4. Review model cards, experiment in Model Playground, validate Trust Layer controls, test grounded scenarios, and obtain risk-owner approval
Correct answer: D. Review model cards, experiment in Model Playground, validate Trust Layer controls, test grounded scenarios, and obtain risk-owner approval
- A. Incorrect. Shorter answers do not prove suitability or safety.
- B. Incorrect. Model documentation does not replace runtime controls.

- D. Correct. Regulated use needs documentation, experimentation, trust controls, testing, and accountable approval.
Medium Multi-Agent Orchestration

Question 10
