Quiz Questions
What is the fundamental limitation of language models that requires tool systems in coding assistants?
Language models can only generate code in specific programming languages
Language models have limited memory capacity for large codebases
Language models cannot understand complex programming concepts
Language models can only handle text input/output and cannot directly interact with external systems
When integrating an MCP server with Claude Code in GitHub Actions, which permission configurations are required?
Each MCP server tool must be listed separately in the permission list
No special permissions are needed if running in GitHub Actions
Permissions are automatically inherited from the GitHub repository settings
All MCP operations must be authorized individually
What is the main difference between planning mode and thinking mode in Claude Code?
