1. What is the main idea of "Agentic AI: designing the tool allowlist that bounds the agent"?

   1. An agent can only do what its tools allow. Design the tool surface to make safe actions easy and dangerous ones impossible.
   2. Use AI as the final authority for the whole decision
   3. Avoid checking the answer once it sounds polished
   4. Focus only on speed instead of judgment

2. Which concept is most central to "Agentic AI: designing the tool allowlist that bounds the agent"?

   1. allowlists
   2. agent tools
   3. blast radius
   4. unrelated shortcut

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Restrain itself from dangerous tools by policy alone
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Call the tools you provide with parameters drawn from context
   4. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation

4. Which limitation should you watch for in this topic?

   1. Call the tools you provide with parameters drawn from context
   2. Explain the topic in plain language
   3. Organize a draft for human review
   4. Restrain itself from dangerous tools by policy alone

5. What should a careful learner remember about "Try this design heuristic"?

   1. Use AI to draft or organize ideas about agent tools, then verify before acting.
   2. Skip the context so the tool can guess faster
   3. Treat the output as private even after sharing it online
   4. Use the answer without checking the source

6. You want to use AI after this lesson. What is the safest next step?

   1. Act immediately because the AI answer is written clearly
   2. Use AI for drafting and comparison, but verify before publishing or relying on it.
   3. Hide uncertainty so the final answer looks cleaner
   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

7. How should AI output about agent tools be treated?

   1. As proof that no other source is needed
   2. As a replacement for context, consent, or expert review
   3. As a draft or helper output that still needs human judgment and verification
   4. As something that becomes correct when it sounds confident

8. Name one way to verify an AI answer about agent tools.

9. Which action would help you apply "Agentic AI: designing the tool allowlist that bounds the agent" responsibly?

   1. Distinguish a tool used wisely from one used recklessly
   2. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   3. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   4. Stop calling tools that error consistently

10. Which choice is a bad use of AI for this lesson?

    1. Distinguish a tool used wisely from one used recklessly
    2. Call the tools you provide with parameters drawn from context
    3. Ask for a plain-language explanation of allowlists
    4. Compare the answer with a trusted source
