Session 1: Bare Metal Agents - Test Solutions

📝 Multiple Choice Test - Session 1

Question 1: What is the primary benefit of implementing agents from scratch before using frameworks?
A) Lower resource usage
B) Easier deployment
C) Better performance
D) Deeper understanding of agent mechanics ✅

Explanation: Building agents from scratch provides deep insight into the core mechanics, patterns, and architecture decisions that frameworks abstract away, enabling better framework selection and customization.

Question 2: In the BaseAgent class, what is the purpose of the conversation_history attribute?
A) Maintaining context across interactions ✅
B) Error tracking
C) Performance monitoring
D) Tool execution logs

Explanation: The conversation_history maintains the context of previous interactions, allowing agents to understand the conversation flow and provide contextually relevant responses.

Question 3: Which method must be implemented by all subclasses of BaseAgent?
A) get_available_tools()
B) process_message()
C) add_tool()
D) _generate_response() ✅

Explanation: The _generate_response() method is the abstract method that each agent subclass must implement to define its specific response generation logic.

Question 4: How does the Tool abstract base class ensure consistency across different tool implementations?
A) By handling errors automatically
B) By providing default implementations
C) By requiring execute() and _get_parameters() methods ✅
D) By managing tool state

Explanation: The Tool abstract base class defines a consistent interface by requiring all tools to implement execute() for functionality and _get_parameters() for metadata.

Question 5: What design pattern is demonstrated by the BaseAgent and its subclasses?
A) Strategy Pattern
B) Factory Pattern
C) Template Method Pattern ✅
D) Observer Pattern

Explanation: The Template Method Pattern defines the skeleton of an algorithm in the base class while letting subclasses override specific steps - exactly how BaseAgent works with _generate_response().
