Answer Key
| # | Answer | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | C | Enforcement belongs outside untrusted content and model output. |
| 2 | C | The server validates a trusted host-held, single-use approval token and bound target state before the narrow write. A caller-supplied digest does not prove approval. |
| 3 | B | Schema validates shape. Server logic and identity controls enforce authority. |
| 4 | B | Approval needs the final action, target, payload, and effect. |
| 5 | C | An independent enforcement event proves the decision with useful context. |
| 6 | B | Environment inheritance often carries credentials and host configuration. |
| 7 | A | Tokens need audience and boundary checks. A token for one service should not flow to another. |
| 8 | B | The host should stop after the defined repeated failure threshold. |
| 9 | C | A controlled retest proves the enforcement change addresses the observed path. |
| 10 | B | Security review follows behavior and authority, not the feature label. |
