An Agentforce Specialist wants to ensure their custom agent action performs as expected in conversations.
What should the Agentforce Specialist focus on when creating action instructions?

A. Write concise agent action instructions and test in Agentforce Builder.

B. Ensure the agent action label matches the utterance’s intent.

C. Include comprehensive detailed descriptions and perform smoke testing.

A.   Write concise agent action instructions and test in Agentforce Builder.

Explanation:

📋 Summary:
When developing custom agent actions, the quality and clarity of action instructions directly impact agent performance during conversations. Agentforce Specialists must balance providing enough guidance for the AI to understand the action's purpose while avoiding overwhelming complexity. The most effective approach combines well-crafted, focused instructions with iterative testing using Agentforce Builder's native testing capabilities, enabling specialists to validate behavior and refine instructions based on real conversation scenarios.

✅ Correct Option:

A. Write concise agent action instructions and test in Agentforce Builder ✓
Concise, clear action instructions paired with testing in Agentforce Builder represents the best practice for action development. Brief instructions help the AI quickly understand when and how to invoke actions without confusion from excessive detail. Agentforce Builder provides an integrated testing environment where specialists can simulate conversations, observe how the agent interprets instructions, and identify issues before deployment. This iterative approach allows for rapid refinement—specialists can adjust instructions based on test results, ensuring actions perform reliably across various conversation contexts and user inputs.

❌ Incorrect Options:

B. Ensure the agent action label matches the utterance's intent ✗
While descriptive action labels are helpful for organization and human readability, they don't directly control how the AI determines when to invoke actions during conversations. The agent relies on action instructions, input parameters, and contextual understanding rather than label matching for intent recognition. Focusing solely on label alignment oversimplifies the action selection process and neglects the critical importance of well-written instructions and comprehensive testing. Labels serve as identifiers but don't substitute for proper instruction design and validation.

C. Include comprehensive detailed descriptions and perform smoke testing ✗
Overly comprehensive and detailed descriptions can actually degrade agent performance by introducing ambiguity and slowing decision-making. Excessive detail may confuse the AI about core functionality or create conflicting guidance. Additionally, basic smoke testing is insufficient—Agentforce Builder enables more thorough conversational testing that reveals how actions perform across diverse scenarios. The combination of verbose instructions and minimal testing represents a suboptimal approach that can lead to unreliable action behavior and poor user experiences.

Universal Containers has a requirement to provide a sales summary for its sales reps who are using Employee Agents, but they are not happy with the default answer.
Which best practice should the AgentForce Specialist recommend?

A. Create a Record Summary custom prompt template.

B. Create a Knowledge Answer custom prompt template.

C. Update the standard record summary action.

A.   Create a Record Summary custom prompt template.

Explanation:

📋 Summary:
Universal Containers needs to customize how sales summaries are presented to their sales reps through Employee Agents. When the default summary format doesn't meet business requirements, organizations can tailor the output by creating custom prompt templates. Record Summary templates specifically control how agent responses are structured and formatted when summarizing record data, allowing businesses to align AI-generated content with their specific communication style and information priorities.

✅ Correct Option:

A. Create a Record Summary custom prompt template ✓
Creating a Record Summary custom prompt template is the optimal solution for customizing sales summary outputs in Agentforce. This approach allows specialists to define specific instructions, tone, structure, and data points that the AI should include when generating summaries. Custom prompt templates provide granular control over how information is presented, ensuring sales reps receive summaries formatted exactly as needed. The template can specify which fields to emphasize, what language style to use, and how to organize information for maximum clarity and relevance to the sales context.

❌ Incorrect Options:

B. Create a Knowledge Answer custom prompt template ✗
Knowledge Answer prompt templates are designed specifically for formatting responses when agents retrieve and present information from the knowledge base. They control how articles, FAQs, and documentation are summarized and delivered to users. Since Universal Containers needs to customize sales summaries from record data (not knowledge articles), this template type wouldn't address their requirement. Knowledge Answer templates work with different data sources and have a different purpose than record summarization, making them unsuitable for this sales summary use case.

C. Update the standard record summary action ✗
While standard record summary actions can be configured, they offer limited customization compared to custom prompt templates. Modifying the standard action doesn't provide the same level of control over output format, tone, and content structure. Standard actions are designed for general use cases and lack the flexibility needed for specific business requirements. Custom prompt templates are specifically built for scenarios where default behavior needs significant modification, making them the recommended best practice rather than attempting to heavily modify standard functionality.

Coral Cloud Resorts (CCR) uses Agentforce to assist customers with booking and service issues. CCR wants to implement a triage process 50 that:
* High severity requests must be escalated to a human service rep.
* Lower severity requests should result in creating a support case for the guest.
The requirement is to achieve the highest reliability and determinism in the response from the agent.
Which approach should an Agentforce Specialist recommend?

A. Write the triage and routing logic in Topic Instructions using an IF, THEN, ELSE pattern: “Escalate to human service rep if the request is considered severe, otherwise create support case”.

B. Use absolute keywords like “Always" and “Never” in Topic Instructions to enforce logic, such as “Always escalate when severity is high” and “Never create a support case when severity is high”.

C. Create a custom variable severityLevel populated by a Triage action. Add filters so the “Escalate to human service rep” action only runs when severityLevel = ‘High’, and the “Create Support Case” action runs only when severityLevel != ‘High’.

C.   Create a custom variable severityLevel populated by a Triage action. Add filters so the “Escalate to human service rep” action only runs when severityLevel = ‘High’, and the “Create Support Case” action runs only when severityLevel != ‘High’.

Explanation:

Summary:
This question addresses the critical need for reliable and deterministic (predictable) automation logic in Agentforce, specifically for a triage process. Relying on the Large Language Model (LLM) to interpret complex, conditional instructions in Topic Instructions (A and B) introduces non-determinism. The most robust and reliable approach is to use a Structured Action (Flow/Action) to explicitly determine the severity, store it in a variable, and then use pre-defined filters on subsequent actions to enforce the exact routing logic.

Correct Option:

C. Create a custom variable severityLevel populated by a Triage action. Add filters so the “Escalate to human service rep” action only runs when severityLevel = ‘High’, and the “Create Support Case” action runs only when severityLevel != ‘High’.

➡️ Determinism: This method uses a structured action (e.g., a Flow) to explicitly calculate the severityLevel and store it in a variable. This result is highly predictable, unlike LLM interpretation.
➡️ Reliable Routing: The subsequent actions (Escalate and Create Case) use conditional filters based on the variable value. Filters are enforced by the platform, ensuring the logic is executed reliably and predictably, meeting the requirement for the highest reliability and determinism.
➡️ Separation of Concerns: The LLM's role is to choose the Triage Action, and the Flow's logic (non-LLM) handles the sensitive routing, leading to robust automation.

Incorrect Option:

A. Write the triage and routing logic in Topic Instructions using an IF, THEN, ELSE pattern: “Escalate to human service rep if the request is considered severe, otherwise create support case”.
🔹 LLM Non-Determinism: Embedding complex conditional logic (like IF, THEN, ELSE) directly into Topic Instructions relies on the Large Language Model (LLM) to interpret and execute the routing. LLMs are inherently non-deterministic, meaning the response and subsequent action execution can vary, failing the requirement for the highest reliability.

B. Use absolute keywords like “Always" and “Never” in Topic Instructions to enforce logic, such as “Always escalate when severity is high” and “Never create a support case when severity is high”
🔹 Instruction Over-reliance: While "Always" and "Never" can guide the LLM's action choice, placing the entire business logic here still makes the routing decision dependent on the LLM's natural language understanding. This approach is less deterministic and less reliable than using explicit, platform-enforced filters (Option C) on structured flow output.

What is the primary advantage of creating an individual retriever instead of the default retriever?

A. Individual retrievers can aggregate multiple data spaces and data model objects (DMOs) into a unified retriever output.

B. Individual retrievers allow the configuration of filters, specified fields, and how many results are returned.

C. Individual retrievers automatically generate new search indexes and dynamically update vectors.

B.   Individual retrievers allow the configuration of filters, specified fields, and how many results are returned.

Explanation:

Summary:
This question focuses on the core benefits of configuring a custom/individual retriever within Salesforce Agentforce/Einstein Copilot, contrasting it with the standard, default option. The primary purpose of creating a custom retriever is to fine-tune the data sources and search criteria. This allows for precise control over the scope, quality, and relevance of the information retrieved, ensuring the agent gets the most accurate and context-specific data to formulate its response.

Correct Option:

🟢 B. Individual retrievers allow the configuration of filters, specified fields, and how many results are returned.
✔️ Customization and Control: The primary advantage of an individual retriever is the ability to precisely control the search parameters.
✔️ Configuration: You can apply filters (e.g., retrieve only articles tagged 'FAQ' or 'Service') to narrow down the knowledge scope.
✔️ Field Specificity: You can select specific fields (e.g., Title and Answer, excluding other metadata) to be included in the retrieval.
✔️ Result Limits: You can set the maximum number of results returned, preventing overwhelming the agent's context window and focusing on the most relevant information, thereby improving response quality.

Incorrect Option:

🔴 A. Individual retrievers can aggregate multiple data spaces and data model objects (DMOs) into a unified retriever output.
Aggregation Scope: While a retriever can point to a data space, the concept of aggregating multiple, distinct data spaces/DMOs is typically managed at a higher level, potentially involving multiple separate retrievers or more complex data integration architecture, not the single retriever configuration itself. The default retriever often covers existing knowledge sources already.

🔴 C. Individual retrievers automatically generate new search indexes and dynamically update vectors.
Indexing Process: The generation of search indexes and vector updates is an underlying platform function handled by the Einstein/Data Cloud infrastructure (e.g., after an article is published or modified). This process is automatic based on the data source, regardless of whether a default or individual retriever is configured. The retriever merely queries the existing index.

Universal Containers needs to create Data Cloud reports to understand agent behavior. Which data lake object (DLO) represents an overarching container capturing contiguous interactions with one or more Al agents?

A. Al AgentInteraction

B. Al AgentInteractionMessage

C. Al AgentSession

C.   Al AgentSession

Explanation:

✅ Correct Option

C) 🗂️ Al AgentSession
✔️ The Al AgentSession DLO acts as the parent container that groups all related activity between a customer and one or more AI agents.
✔️ It represents the complete, contiguous interaction, capturing the entire journey from the initiation of a conversation to its conclusion.
✔️ Reporting on this object allows you to analyze metrics like total session duration, session outcomes, and which agents were involved.

❌ Incorrect Option

A) 🤖 Al AgentInteraction
This DLO represents a single, discrete exchange within a session (e.g., a user's question and the agent's answer). It is a child of the Al AgentSession, not the overarching container itself.

B) 💬 Al AgentInteractionMessage
This is the most granular DLO, representing individual messages or events (like "typing indicator") within a single interaction. It is a child of the Al AgentInteraction object.

Summary:
To report on agent behavior effectively, it's crucial to understand the hierarchy of Data Lake Objects (DLOs). A "session" represents the entire conversation container, from start to finish. Within a session, there are individual "interactions" (like a customer query and the agent's response), and each interaction is composed of "messages" (the specific text or event).
