Microsoft GH-600 Exam Objectives

Section 1: Prepare agent architecture and SDLC processes
Weight:
15-20%
Integrate agents into the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
  • Identify steps for agents to perform
  • Identify and mitigate common anti-patterns in agents
  • Define inputs, outputs, and success criteria for agents
Define boundaries between planning, reasoning, and action
  • Configure agent planning to be distinct from agent execution
  • Configure an agent to output a structured plan
  • Validate agent plans
  • Prevent agent action until the agent checked and approved
Configure observability and control for autonomous agents
  • Plan and implement the degree of agent autonomy, including guardrails
  • Configure agent to produce inspectable artifacts within standard development tooling
  • Configure human intervention for autonomous agents without slowing delivery
Section 2: Implement tool use and environment interaction
Weight:
20-25%
Select and configure agent tools
  • Identify required tools
  • Configure agent tools
  • Configure agent tool permissions
Configure MCP servers
  • Add an MCP server as a tool to an agent
  • Configure a GitHub remote MCP server
  • Configure the MCP registries
  • Configure MCP allow lists
Integrate agents within development environments
  • Evaluate the execution context for an agent
  • Configure an agent's scope to a specific repository
  • Configure an agent to be invoked in a CI workflow
  • Configure an agent to use branch-based scope
  • Enable an agent to perform autonomous actions, including creating branches and pull requests
  • Configure an agent to handle environment-specific constraints
Operate agents with safe execution paths and robust error handling
  • Implement error handling
  • Implement retries
  • Implement rollbacks
  • Implement escalation paths
  • Implement traceability and accountability for agent actions
Section 3: Manage memory, state, and execution
Weight:
10-15%
Implement agent memory strategies
  • Choose between short-term, long-term, and external memory
  • Scope agent memory to task-relevant information
  • Define memory expiration, pruning, and reset rules
Persist agent state and manage context drift
  • Capture task progress and decisions as durable artifacts
  • Resume agent work without repeating steps or diverging from prior decisions
  • Detect and correct drift during extended agent execution
Ensure continuity of agent memory and state across tools and environments
  • Share agent state
  • Prevent conflicting context
  • Prevent stale context
Section 4: Perform evaluation, error analysis, and tuning
Weight:
15-20%
Define success criteria and evaluation signals for agent tasks
  • Specify expected outcomes and operational constraints for agent tasks
  • Identify qualitative and quantitative evaluation signals to evaluate agents
  • Align evaluation criteria with development intent
  • Generate evaluation signals by using automated scanning tools
Analyze agent failures and identify root causes
  • Identify failures by using logs, plans, traces, outputs, and workflow artifacts
  • Classify root causes, including reasoning errors, tool misuse, and context or environment issues
Tune agent behavior based on evaluation results
  • Revise instructions, workflows, or constraints
  • Refine memory usage
  • Refine tool usage and tool access
Section 5: Orchestrate multi-agent coordination
Weight:
15-20%
Operate and manage multi-agent workflows
  • Apply an orchestration pattern to coordinate multiple agents
  • Configure agent isolation for parallel execution
  • Detect and resolve agent conflicts, including overlapping code changes, duplicated effort, and contradictory outputs
Configure observability for multi-agent behavior by using logs, artifacts, and operational signals
  • Configure multi-agent workflows to produce artifacts suitable for review and audit
  • Document key decisions, handoffs, and outcomes across agents
  • Perform post-hoc analysis of multi-agent behavior
Detect and respond to multi-agent failures and degraded behavior
  • Identify failed, partial, or stalled agent executions
  • Respond to degraded behavior or coordination across agents
  • Implement multi-agent recovery patterns, including rollback and human-in-the-loop
Manage the lifecycle of agents within multi-agent workflows
  • Add agents to existing multi-agent workflows
  • Update, reconfigure, or replace agents without disrupting active workflows
  • Retire agents while preserving auditability and workflow continuity
Section 6: Implement guardrails and accountability
Weight:
10-15%
Define autonomy levels
  • Classify agent actions by operational, security, and compliance risk to right-size human interventions
  • Assign autonomy levels to maximize delivery speed while remaining compliant with organizational security and Responsible AI standards
Implement guardrails and human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Identify the subset of actions that require human judgment
  • Block actions that violate defined security, compliance, or Responsible AI policies
  • Scope permissions and execution contexts to enforce least-privilege access
  • Require explicit authorization or controlled paths for irreversible or compliance-sensitive changes
  • Preserve execution velocity by minimizing approvals that do not materially reduce risk
