QUESTION 1 OF 5 A developer's custom loop on the Messages API runs each reply's tool\_use blocks, but it treats any reply containing a text block as the final answer and returns that text. Users of the order assistant now often get only 'Let me look up that order for you.' The logged replies are complete and also hold a lookup\_order tool\_use block. How would you fix the loop? 1. A Decide on stop\_reason instead: run the requested tools and call again while it is tool\_use, and finish on any other value. 2. B Raise max\_tokens on each request so Claude has room to finish the lookup and write the full answer in one reply. 3. C Set tool\_choice to any on each request so Claude must call a tool in its turn instead of writing a text reply. 4. D Add a system prompt rule telling Claude to write no text in a turn where it calls a tool, so each reply holds just the tool calls. **Show answer** **Answer: A** One reply can hold a short text block and a tool\_use block together, and a stop\_reason of tool\_use is what says Claude is waiting for a tool result. Keying the loop on stop\_reason runs lookup\_order, sends the result back, and finishes only when Claude has stopped for another reason.
