Anthropic CCAR-F Question Answer
You are building a customer support resolution agent using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent handles high-ambiguity requests like returns, billing disputes, and account issues. It has access to your backend systems through custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools ( get_customer , lookup_order , process_refund , escalate_to_human ). Your target is 80%+ first-contact resolution while knowing when to escalate.
During testing, you find that when a customer says “I need a refund for my recent purchase,” the agent calls process_refund immediately—but populates the required order_id parameter with a plausible-looking but fabricated value instead of first calling lookup_order to retrieve the actual order ID. The refund call fails because the fabricated ID doesn’t exist.
Which change directly addresses the root cause of the agent fabricating the order_id value?
