Session 6: ACP Fundamentals - Test Solutions¶
๐ Multiple Choice Test¶
Question 1: ACP Purpose¶
What is the primary purpose of the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP)?
A) To provide internet-dependent agent communication
B) To replace REST APIs entirely
C) To facilitate local-first agent coordination with minimal overhead โ
D) To enable cloud-based agent coordination
Correct Answer: C) To facilitate local-first agent coordination with minimal overhead
Explanation: ACP is specifically designed for local-first agent coordination that works within the same runtime, edge device, or local network without requiring internet connectivity.
Question 2: ACP Advantage¶
What is the main advantage of ACP over traditional cloud-dependent agent protocols?
A) Higher performance
B) Easier implementation
C) Better security
D) Offline capability and low latency โ
Correct Answer: D) Offline capability and low latency
Explanation: ACP's offline capability and low latency make it ideal for edge computing and local environments where internet connectivity may be unreliable or unavailable.
Question 3: Agent Capabilities¶
What information must an ACP agent capability declaration include?
A) Only the agent ID
B) Only the capability name
C) Just the input parameters
D) Name, description, input schema, and output schema โ
Correct Answer: D) Name, description, input schema, and output schema
Explanation: Complete capability declarations include name, human-readable description, input schema for parameters, and output schema for return values to enable proper agent discovery and interaction.
Question 4: Agent Discovery¶
How do ACP agents discover each other's capabilities?
A) Via embedded metadata and local REST endpoints โ
B) Through a centralized cloud registry
C) Through manual configuration files
D) Using UDP broadcasts only
Correct Answer: A) Via embedded metadata and local REST endpoints
Explanation: ACP agents use embedded metadata exposed through standard REST endpoints, enabling automatic discovery without external dependencies.
Question 5: Communication Protocol¶
What communication protocol does ACP use for agent interactions?
A) WebSocket
B) gRPC
C) Custom binary protocol
D) Standard HTTP/REST โ
Correct Answer: D) Standard HTTP/REST
Explanation: ACP uses standard HTTP/REST endpoints, making it framework-agnostic and easy to implement with existing web technologies.
Question 6: Coordinator Pattern¶
What role does the coordinator agent play in ACP architectures?
A) Provides security authentication
B) Orchestrates multi-agent workflows and manages task distribution โ
C) Stores all data permanently
D) Acts as a backup for other agents
Correct Answer: B) Orchestrates multi-agent workflows and manages task distribution
Explanation: The coordinator agent orchestrates multi-agent workflows by discovering available agents, distributing tasks, and managing the overall workflow execution.
Question 7: Agent Specialization¶
Why are specialized agents (like data agents and text agents) beneficial in ACP systems?
A) They cost less to deploy
B) They require less memory
C) They provide focused expertise and better task delegation โ
D) They are faster than general-purpose agents
Correct Answer: C) They provide focused expertise and better task delegation
Explanation: Specialized agents provide focused expertise in specific domains, enabling better task delegation and more efficient problem-solving through division of labor.
Question 8: Service Registration¶
How do agents register their services in an ACP system?
A) Through manual configuration
B) Using external service registries only
C) Through database entries
D) By exposing standardized metadata endpoints โ
Correct Answer: D) By exposing standardized metadata endpoints
Explanation: Agents register services by exposing standardized metadata endpoints that describe their capabilities, allowing for automatic service discovery.
Question 9: Local Registry¶
What is the purpose of the local registry in ACP systems?
A) To store all agent data
B) To provide internet connectivity
C) To facilitate agent discovery and capability lookup โ
D) To handle authentication
Correct Answer: C) To facilitate agent discovery and capability lookup
Explanation: The local registry serves as a central point for agent discovery and capability lookup, maintaining a directory of available agents and their services.
Question 10: Framework Agnostic Design¶
Why is ACP designed to be framework-agnostic?
A) To improve performance
B) To simplify testing
C) To enable integration with any agent implementation โ
D) To reduce development costs
Correct Answer: C) To enable integration with any agent implementation
Explanation: Framework-agnostic design allows ACP to work with any agent implementation, providing flexibility and enabling integration across different agent frameworks and technologies.

Quiz Answers¶
- B - Local-first operation without internet dependency
- C - Standard REST/HTTP
- B - Using embedded metadata and local registries
- B - Edge computing and IoT devices
- D - Cloud dependency required (this is NOT a core principle)
Key Implementation Notes¶
- Error Handling: All agents include proper error handling and graceful failures
- Type Safety: Uses Pydantic models for request/response validation
- Async Communication: Full async/await support for non-blocking operations
- Discovery: Implements both capability-based and general agent discovery
- Standard Endpoints: All agents expose consistent ACP endpoints
- Local Registry: In-memory registry for discovered peers
- Cross-Registration: Agents automatically register with each other
This solution demonstrates a complete, working ACP agent network that can operate offline with local discovery and coordination.
