MCPA sample questions

2 questions from the MCPA practice set, with the answer and explanation.

  1. Question 1
    Which MCP primitive lets the model request an action, such as creating an issue, through a tools/call request?
    • A.
      Tools, which the model can invoke with tools/call and which may have side effects
    • B.
      Resources, which the application reads with resources/read to supply background context to the model
    • C.
      Prompts, which the user selects as parameterized templates through prompts/get requests
    • D.
      Roots, which list the filesystem boundaries that a client exposes to its connected servers
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      Tools, which the model can invoke with tools/call and which may have side effects

    Explanation

    Tools are the server primitive the model invokes through tools/call, and they may change state in the external system. Resources are read by the application for context, and prompts are user-selected templates, so neither is an action the model triggers. Roots describe boundaries a client exposes and are not invoked at all.
  2. Question 2
    MCP tool annotations such as readOnlyHint are hints from the server, and a client should not treat them as a security guarantee.
    • A.
      True
    • B.
      False
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      True

    Explanation

    True. Annotations describe what a tool is expected to do, but a server can be wrong or malicious, so a host needs its own controls such as approval and least privilege. Relying on a hint alone would trust the very party that the security model should not trust by default.
