Question

You are building developer productivity tools using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent helps engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate code, and automate repetitive tasks. It uses the built-in tools (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob) and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

An engineer sees an unfamiliar error message “SYNC_CONFLICT: entity version mismatch detected” in production logs but doesn’t know which of the 12 services in the codebase generates it. They ask the agent to help locate the source code. What exploration approach will most efficiently find the responsible code?

Accepted Answer

C. Use Grep to search for distinctive text from the error message (like “SYNC_CONFLICT” or “entity version mismatch”), then Read the matching files to understand context.

Answer

A. Use Glob to find files in directories commonly associated with error handling (such as errors/, exceptions/,or handlers/) across all services, then Read each matching file.

Answer

B. Read the project’s README and service configuration files to understand the architecture, then systematically Read source files in each service directory.

Answer

D. Use Grep to find all files that import the project’s error handling module, then Read those files to locate custom error definitions.
