What the Data for This Category Looks Like

The data related to agrochemical product yield rates comes primarily from the China Pesticide Industry Association, the National Agricultural Technology Extension and Service Center, regional agricultural means of production wholesale markets, and upstream raw material suppliers. There are two update schedules: spot prices are updated daily after market close, and industry average yield rate statistics are released weekly. Each data entry includes fields such as product common name, formulation, active ingredient content, origin, wholesale quote, retail quote, statistical cycle, and issuing authority. Quote units are mostly yuan per kilogram or yuan per ton. Active ingredient content is measured in grams per liter, with no percentage-based values.

Constraints Imposed on Tool Calling and Plugins Workflows

The data characteristics of agrochemical products impose multiple constraints on the tool calling and plugins workflow. Requirements for aggregating multiple data sources mean tools must connect to interfaces from associations, wholesale markets, and other parties at the same time. Field mapping rules must be configured to unify field names from different sources. The inconsistent pricing units require tools to automatically convert between yuan per kilogram and yuan per ton before calling, to avoid data calculation errors. Active ingredient content serves as a core filtering condition. Filtering logic for this field must be added to tool parameters, otherwise miscellaneous data without active ingredient identifiers will be included. Data with different update frequencies must have distinct trigger timings: spot price data must be called in real time, while weekly statistics can be triggered on a fixed schedule.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
plugin_batch_size15 items/batchAgrochemical product data has many fields per entry. Excessively large batches will trigger rate limiting from data source interfaces. 15 items/batch balances efficiency and stability
tool_field_mappingproduct name: generic name, quotation: wholesale price, active ingredient: active ingredient contentField names vary across different data sources, so they must be unified to the platform's internal standard fields
tool_update_interval86400 seconds / 604800 secondsDaily updated spot prices correspond to 86400 seconds, while weekly yield rate statistics correspond to 604800 seconds
variable_group_keydosage form, active ingredient contentGrouping by agrochemical product formulation and active ingredient content enables categorized call count statistics
tool_timeout300 secondsAggregated calls across multiple data sources require sufficient request time to prevent task failure from timeouts
retry_count2 retriesAgricultural means of production data interfaces occasionally experience fluctuations. Retries reduce the rate of call failures caused by temporary network issues

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 individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Configuration Mistakes

  • Symptom: After executing the variable_update tool, the grouped variable values do not change, and the log shows target field not matched. Cause: tool_field_mapping is not configured, so the fields returned by the tool cannot match the target key names for variable updates.
  • Symptom: After executing a batch tool call, a 429 Too Many Requests status code is returned, and the number of results is less than the preset value. Cause: plugin_batch_size is set too large, triggering rate limiting rules from the data source interface.
  • Symptom: Tool call results include non-agrochemical product data without active ingredient identifiers. Cause: No filtering condition for active ingredient content is configured in the tool parameters, so unrelated data is included.

How to Verify Proper Configuration

  • Initiate a single tool call, and check if the fields of the returned data match the mapping relationship configured in tool_field_mapping.
  • Execute the variable_update tool, access the variable management panel, and confirm that the grouped statistics count increases synchronously with the number of calls.
  • Adjust plugin_batch_size to 5 items/batch and execute a batch call, and confirm that no 429 status code is returned.
  • Call a tool with active ingredient content filtering, and confirm that the returned results only include agrochemical product data that meets the preset content conditions.
