Developer productivity tools (S4)

Agents that explore codebases and automate tasks with built-in tools + MCP.

The Developer Productivity Tools scenario (S4) covers agents that explore codebases and automate developer tasks using built-in tools and MCP. It's the largest scenario in the bank, and it leans on tool selection and context management under real repository scale.

Expect questions on choosing built-in tools (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash) effectively, integrating MCP servers, managing context during large-codebase exploration, and decomposing automation tasks so an agent can finish them reliably.

This scenario spans 18 subtopic areas, covered by 126 practice questions across 28 easy, 70 medium, and 28 hard items.
