Try 3 Agentic AI Developer GH-600 practice questions
Choose an answer, explore the explanation, and see why the other options are less suitable. Three short scenarios. No sign-in required.
1. Approving a plan before an agent edits code
A development team asks a coding agent to refactor authentication across several repositories. Company policy requires an approved implementation plan before the agent makes any code-changing tool calls. Which workflow design best separates planning from execution while meeting that requirement?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: B — A reviewed, structured plan followed by separately authorized execution.
Why B is correct
Separating planning from execution keeps an agent from taking code-changing actions before the intended work is understood. A structured plan identifies the proposed changes and makes them available for validation. An authorized reviewer can check scope, risks, and the proposed sequence before granting permission to execute. Only after approval should the agent use editing tools to implement the plan. This creates a clear control point without preventing the agent from helping with analysis and planning.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — After-the-fact review: Reviewing the finished pull request is useful, but write operations would already have occurred. It does not satisfy the requirement for plan approval before any code changes.
- C — Planning while editing: Describing a plan while editing makes the planning and execution stages overlap. The policy requires a separate approval step before code-changing tools are used.
- D — CI-only checks: CI checks can detect some implementation failures after changes are made. They do not approve the proposed plan before the agent begins acting on the repositories.
Key takeaway: Separate agent planning, plan validation and approval, and execution when changes require prior authorization.

2. Giving a repository agent read-only MCP access
A team configures a GitHub custom agent to summarize issues from one private repository. Its MCP server exposes both read and write operations, but the agent must not modify issues or access other repositories. Which configuration best enforces these boundaries?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: C — Read-only MCP tool allow-list with repository-scoped, least-privilege credentials.
Why C is correct
Custom agents can be configured with a limited set of tools rather than every available tool. Restricting MCP access to read-only operations prevents the agent from selecting issue-modification tools. A GitHub credential scoped to the approved repository adds an independent access boundary. Combining tool restrictions with least-privilege credentials addresses both prohibited writes and cross-repository access. Instructions still help guide agent behavior, but permissions are the stronger enforcement mechanism.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — Instructions without restrictions: An instruction can tell an agent not to edit issues, but it does not remove the tools capable of editing them. Exposing every MCP operation leaves unnecessary capabilities available.
- B — Encrypted credential alone: Encrypted storage helps protect the credential itself. It does not limit the operations an agent can perform when the server exposes broadly privileged tools.
- D — Post-run auditing: Auditing helps investigators understand what the agent did after execution. It does not prevent unauthorized actions when write-capable tools remain available.
Key takeaway: Enforce agent boundaries with explicit tool allow-lists and narrowly scoped credentials, not instructions alone.
3. Resuming a multi-step migration without losing progress
A coding agent is interrupted halfway through a multi-step repository migration after updating several files and recording design decisions. It will resume the next day, when the branch may have changed. Which approach best preserves progress without relying on stale context?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: A — Durable checkpoints with validation against the current repository state.
Why A is correct
Durable artifacts can preserve completed steps, decisions, and outstanding work across agent sessions. They give a resumed agent a reliable starting point without requiring it to reconstruct the task from conversation fragments. Comparing those artifacts with the current branch detects code changes that occurred during the interruption. The agent can then adjust its plan instead of repeating work or relying on obsolete assumptions. This approach addresses both execution continuity and context drift.
Why the other options are less suitable
- B — Latest message only: The latest chat message may omit earlier decisions, completed steps, and constraints. Inferring those details risks duplicating work or deviating from the approved migration plan.
- C — Repeating the entire migration: Restarting from the beginning can duplicate changes or overwrite already completed work. It ignores the opportunity to resume safely from a recorded checkpoint.
- D — Unvalidated long-term memory: Long-term memory can contain useful historical facts, but repository state may change after those facts were stored. Skipping validation allows stale context to influence new actions.
Key takeaway: Persist task checkpoints and decisions, then revalidate them before resuming an interrupted agent run.

Your questions, answered.
Which GitHub Agentic AI certification exam does this practice target?
These practice questions target GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer, exam GH-600: Developing in Agentic AI Systems. The official study guide covers six areas, including agent architecture, MCP tools, memory, evaluation, multi-agent orchestration and guardrails. Before purchasing, compare the product’s confirmed topics and included resources with the official GH-600 objectives applicable to your examination date. The guide was last updated May 13, 2026.
Who is GH-600 practice suitable for?
GH-600 is an intermediate certification for developers, DevOps engineers, AI engineers and professionals who build or operate coding agents. GitHub recommends experience with the software development lifecycle, repositories, workflows, code quality and security controls. Familiarity with GitHub Copilot, MCP servers, custom instructions and agent customization will also help. Candidates who are new to agentic development should combine practice questions with foundational training and authorized hands-on work.
How should I combine practice questions with practical agent development?
Use practice questions alongside GitHub documentation and exercises in repositories you control. Compare a planning-only agent with one authorized to edit files, configure restricted MCP tools, save execution checkpoints and inspect session logs. Test how changes are reviewed and recovered when failures occur. These activities connect GH-600 concepts to actual development workflows. They do not imply that GitHub Copilot subscriptions, cloud resources or hosted labs are included with the pack.
What should I do after answering a GH-600 question incorrectly?
Identify which operational or security requirement your selected answer failed to satisfy. For example, distinguish planning from execution, tool instructions from enforced permissions, and persistent state from unvalidated long-term memory. Read the explanations for every answer choice, revisit the corresponding GitHub documentation and try another scenario involving the same concept. Focus on understanding control boundaries and failure consequences rather than memorizing letters. Practice results do not predict official passing scores.
Does this preview reproduce the official GH-600 examination format?
No. The preview contains three independently written scenarios with four options and one correct answer each. The official GH-600 examination is proctored, lasts 120 minutes and may include interactive components. Microsoft does not publish the complete question-type mix in advance. The official exam sandbox can help candidates become familiar with the testing interface. This preview does not demonstrate every examination format or establish the full paid pack’s features.
Does completing this practice earn the GitHub Agentic AI Developer certification?
No. Completing or purchasing independent practice questions does not award the GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer credential. Earning certification requires passing the official GH-600 examination and following GitHub’s applicable certification requirements. Practice access and official exam registration are separate activities. Review the product’s stated terms for any voucher arrangements rather than assuming that the practice purchase includes an official examination booking.
30-day conditional refund policy
