What the Data for This Category Looks Like
Duty-free category yield and market data comes from three main sources: domestic off-shore duty-free regulatory platforms, official supply chain data from leading duty-free brands, and POS data collected from offline stores. Data updates follow a T+1 cadence: full datasets for the previous calendar day are updated once daily. Available formats are structured JSON or CSV. Fields include product category, operating entity, collection source identifier, daily revenue, daily cost, yield rate metric, and data update timestamp. Units use non-percentage decimals or standard currency units. The data covers major domestic off-shore duty-free, in-city duty-free, and online duty-free mall channels.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on Tool Calling and Plugins
The T+1 update cadence of this category's data requires tool call trigger frequency to not exceed once per day. More frequent calls retrieve empty, unupdated datasets. The structured multi-field structure requires strict matching of preset field names during tool calling. Mismatches cause field parsing errors. Decentralized data sources across multiple channels require plugins to configure multi-source aggregation rules and set source priorities to prevent data conflicts. The non-percentage decimal format of the yield rate field requires adding format validation logic in the plugin to filter non-numeric input. Data compliance requirements require plugins to configure a data source whitelist, only allowing access to data from compliant regulatory platforms or official disclosure channels.
How to Set Configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
batch_execution_trigger_frequency | Once daily, triggered at 2:00 AM fixed time | Matches the T+1 update cadence of duty-free yield data, avoids repeated calls to unupdated data sources |
field_matching_strictness | Strict matching | This category has many fields with fixed formats; strict matching avoids field parsing errors |
plugin_data_source_whitelist | Add national off-shore duty-free regulatory platform, official API of leading duty-free brands | Ensures data sources are compliant, avoids risks from non-standard data sources |
tool_timeout | 600 seconds | Multi-source aggregated data requires waiting for responses from all channels; a longer timeout prevents mid-run interruptions |
response_format_validation | Enable decimal format validation, required field validation | The yield rate field for this category uses non-percentage decimals, requires filtering abnormal format inputs |
batch_execution_max_concurrency | Calibrated based on actual testing | Concurrent load capacity varies by deployment environment, adjust based on actual operation |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. Testing on samples relevant to the specific deployment is recommended before finalizing configuration values.
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: The batch execution node completes the full process during online debugging, but only some nodes are executed or the process is interrupted mid-run during API calls. Cause: The trigger frequency of the batch execution node is not configured to match the data update cycle. The API call trigger frequency exceeds the data update cadence, resulting in retrieval of incomplete datasets.
- Phenomenon: After calling the workflow via the API, the running data fields in the conversation log are empty. Cause: The tool call log collection configuration is not enabled, or the field matching strictness is set too high, causing valid data to be filtered out.
- Phenomenon: In version V4.12.3, after running a custom plugin, the output download address keeps flickering before returning results. Cause: The plugin is configured with multi-source data aggregation, which requires waiting for all channels to return results before generating the final download address. No reasonable timeout waiting threshold is set, causing interface delay display.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Trigger a tool call once, check if the returned data fields fully match the preset duty-free category data fields.
- View the workflow running log, confirm that all configured data sources have been successfully connected with no error messages.
- Trigger the tool call twice consecutively, check if the update timestamp of the returned data conforms to the T+1 update cadence.
- Simulate an API call, verify that the execution result of the batch execution node matches the result from online debugging.
