Practice question 117 of 498 · medium

A team says its agent’s API-key calls are protected by an Entra agent policy. What is the flaw?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.The downstream API cannot have any authorization controls
  2. B.API keys automatically become user tokens
  3. C.API-key calls bypass Entra’s token pipeline
  4. D.The agent must join a Users policy group
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • API-key calls bypass Entra’s token pipeline

API-key access bypasses Entra evaluation. Keys do not become user tokens, group targeting does not change the authentication path, and the API still needs its own credential and authorization controls.
