A university wants an agent that tells applicants whether a program is listed in the catalog when they ask, and that must not offer admission. Which agent design fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The front desk can say whether a program is in the book, and it does not stamp an acceptance letter. You want a prompt-and-response agent that answers only when an applicant asks and cannot offer admission. An agent that files a decision is doing a different job.
Full Explanation
A prompt-and-response agent speaks when a person asks and does not take the business action. The applicant asks whether a program is listed, the agent answers from the catalog, and offering admission is forbidden, so there is no tool that writes a decision. An autonomous agent that starts from each application and posts an admission decision acts without a question and takes the action the university withheld. A task agent that sends an offer when an applicant names a program treats the question as an order to admit, which is the opposite of the constraint. A Computer Use agent that operates the admissions screens and records a decision is built to drive the system of record, and recording a decision is the action the design must not perform. The catalog can be supplied as knowledge, so driving those screens is not required to say whether a program exists. Exam caveat: answering from a catalog does not become a task agent just because the answer matters. The test is whether the agent waits to be asked and whether it can change an admission. Operational check: confirm the agent has no action that creates an offer, and confirm it stays silent until an applicant asks.
