Tool Calling and Plugins for Education Service Yield Reporting

Education services fall under the yield and market daily report sub-scenario of financial wealth management. Data sources include publicly available

What the data for this category looks like

Education services fall under the yield and market daily report sub-scenario of financial wealth management. Data sources include publicly available guidance prices from regional education service regulators and daily collected data from third-party education operation monitoring platforms. Data updates once per day, with a full refresh window from 02:00 to 04:00 each day. The document structure uses structured single-line records with five fields: region code, service category code, benchmark yield value, statistical cycle, and data update time. The unit for benchmark yield value is Chinese Yuan. The statistical cycle uses standard natural days, with no additional percentage annotations.

What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugins

Since data refreshes at a fixed daily window, align tool calls with this update period. Avoid triggering requests during the refresh window, which returns incomplete data. Since fields use a structured, limited scope, pre-set filter parameters for tool calls. Limit returned regions and service categories to avoid excessive redundant data. Since the unit is Chinese Yuan, require plugin output to include the unit label. This prevents confusion with yield data from other categories. Since the statistical cycle uses natural days, align tool call result cache duration with the update cycle. This reduces duplicate requests and outdated data issues.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
plugin_update_cycle86400 secondsAligns with the daily update cycle of education service daily reports, avoiding cache expiration or duplicate requests
plugin_request_filter["region code", "service category code"]Matches the structured fields of the data document, limiting the valid scope of returned results
plugin_timeout30 secondsAdapts to the refresh window duration of the data interface, preventing request interruptions due to timeout
plugin_output_unit_forceEnabledEnsures plugin output includes the Chinese Yuan unit, conforming to the actual definition of the data fields
tool_call_retries2 timesAddresses temporary fluctuations during data interface refresh windows, reducing call failure rates

The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Analyze specific issues on a case-by-case basis, and conduct tests on available local samples before finalizing configuration settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: Returns messages is empty error when calling the OpenAPI interface. Cause: The request body does not properly populate the messages field, or does not carry plugin call parameter configurations in the required format.
  • Symptom: Returns an empty model stream response after tool calling, with no valid data. Cause: The call timing overlaps with the daily refresh window of the data interface, resulting in incomplete data being returned, or the filter parameters in the plugin configuration do not match the existing data scope.
  • Symptom: The yield value in plugin output does not carry a unit label, leading to ambiguity in subsequent processing. Cause: The plugin_output_unit_force configuration is not enabled, so the plugin only returns a pure numerical value, not following the unit definition of the data field.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Enter the plugin management page, verify the configured value of plugin_update_cycle to ensure it aligns with the update cycle of education service daily reports.
  • Initiate a manual tool call, check that the returned results include the fields corresponding to the preset filter parameters, and that each record is marked with the correct unit.
  • View the system log to confirm that the messages field in the tool call request body conforms to the interface specification format.
  • Wait for a full update cycle, then call the tool again to verify that the update timestamp of the returned data is from the latest time period.
