What Is a Feature of Cisco DNA Center Open Platform Capabilities?
What is a feature of the open platform capabilities of Cisco DNA Center?
Community Votes
100% of anonymous learners picked answer C. Votes are pick records left by other test-takers — they are not the verified answer.
Community Insight
This item tests whether you can identify Cisco DNA Center's documented open platform feature, and the trap is choosing adapter or integration labels that sound extensible but are not the Intent APIs.
Cisco DNA Center's open platform capabilities are the focus of this 350-701 question, and the correct answer is intent-based APIs. These northbound REST APIs expose platform capabilities and provide policy-based abstraction for automation outcomes.
The most common wrong answer is application adapters or automation adapters, because they sound like open platform integration components, yet Cisco DNA Center's open platform capability is specifically the Intent APIs.

Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
Option C is correct because Cisco DNA Center's open platform capability is built around Intent APIs, which are northbound REST APIs that expose platform functions and abstract business intent. Marshpillowz's comment states that these APIs are "northbound REST APIs that expose specific capabilities" of the DNA Center platform, matching Cisco's own description. The APIs are RESTful, simple, extensible, and secure, which is exactly what Cisco means by an open platform capability on 350-701. Therefore the suggested answer C is independently supported by the question's terminology.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Application adapters, domain integration, and automation adapters are distractors that sound like integration or extensibility features but are not the named Cisco DNA Center open platform capability. Cisco's platform documentation highlights Intent APIs, Integration APIs, events, notifications, and application hosting, not "application adapters" or "automation adapters" as the feature being tested. Domain integration is especially generic and does not map to a Cisco DNA Center platform capability term. These options fail because the question asks for the feature of open platform capabilities, and only intent-based APIs is a recognized Cisco DNA Center platform feature.Community Comment Notes
Marshpillowz explains that Intent APIs provide policy-based abstraction of business intent and are northbound REST APIs. MPoels reinforces this by posting Cisco documentation and a CiscoLive DEVNET-2087 PDF as references. samtestking briefly asks "Really C?" but offers no alternative, and the rest of the thread supports C. The unanimous vote for C is useful as a signal, but the authoritative backing is the Cisco material, not the poll itself.Official Reference
Exam Strategy
Map the question to Cisco DNA Center platform vocabulary: Intent APIs are the northbound REST interface, while adapters describe mechanisms, not the named open capability. On 350-701, eliminate answers that sound generic like domain integration or automation adapters unless Cisco materials use that exact term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are intent-based APIs the Cisco DNA Center open platform feature?
Intent APIs are Cisco DNA Center's northbound REST APIs that expose platform capabilities and provide policy-based abstraction, matching the documented open platform feature in option C.
Are application adapters or automation adapters open platform features?
No, those terms are distractors for this 350-701 item; Cisco DNA Center's documented open platform capability is Intent APIs, not generic adapter types.
