Question 21

A retrieval tool exposed to an agent must return the evidence contract expected by the caller, including source identity and usable content. Which interface design best satisfies this requirement?

1. Use query embeddings with a different incompatible model or dimension than the indexed vectors.
2. Reprocess affected content after the extraction configuration changes.
3. Treat an indexer success count as proof that relevance quality is acceptable.
4. Use vector-only retrieval for exact identifiers and discard lexical matching.
5. Apply authorization filtering only after documents are returned to the model.

Correct Answer: B

Correct Answer

Answer B is correct because this choice directly implements the required decision for ingestion reprocessing after the extraction configuration changes. It addresses the scenario at the correct stage of the Azure AI solution.
