What the data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes primarily from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs agricultural situation monitoring system, the national agricultural product wholesale market price information platform, and on-site sampling data from local agricultural technology extension stations. Updates occur daily, with monitoring results from the previous natural day published before 10 AM each day. Data is stored in a structured format. Each row corresponds to a single crop, single region monitoring entry, and includes fields such as crop category, monitoring region, yield per unit area, unit purchase price, planting input cost, and calculated revenue value. Yield per unit area is measured in kg/mu, unit purchase price in yuan/kg, and planting input cost and calculated revenue value in yuan/mu.

What constraints these characteristics impose on the tool calling and plugins workflow

Data sources for this category are scattered. Multiple data source plugins must be called to complete data aggregation. The tool calling link therefore requires configuration of multi-source request concurrency control parameters to avoid triggering interface rate limits. The data update schedule is fixed. The scheduled trigger for tool calls must align with the 10 AM daily release node to avoid obtaining unupdated historical data. The units of structured fields are fixed and tightly bound to farming scenarios. Plugin input parameters must strictly match the field units, otherwise deviations will occur in revenue calculation results. Each data entry corresponds to a single crop in a single region. Filtering parameters for crops and regions must be configured during batch calls to narrow the returned data scope.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
plugin_request_timeout300 secondsPublic data sources related to crop farming typically have response times within 2 minutes. Setting 300 seconds prevents normal requests from being interrupted
plugin_batch_filter_rulesFilter by crop category and monitoring regionEach data entry corresponds to a single crop in a single region. Filtering allows accurate acquisition of the target dataset and reduces invalid data processing volume
plugin_request_concurrency2–4Public agricultural data sources typically have low interface rate limit thresholds. Setting a concurrency of 2-4 avoids triggering interface blocking
plugin_field_mappingMap external fields to crop name, yield per unit area, unit purchase price, planting input cost, calculated revenue valueField naming for crop farming data varies by region. Unified mapping ensures consistency in subsequent revenue calculations
plugin_scheduled_trigger_timeDaily 10:00Data sources complete updating the previous day's data before 10 AM daily. Calling at this time obtains the latest valid data
plugin_response_parse_modeStructured JSON parsingData sources return data in structured JSON format. This parsing mode allows quick and accurate extraction of target fields

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 case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: The revenue value returned after calling the plugin is empty or not generated as expected, and custom input parameters do not take effect. Cause: The plugin_field_mapping parameter is not configured correctly, or the input parameter fields do not match the actual field names of the data source, resulting in failure to correctly extract target data.
  • Symptom: The scheduled plugin task fails to obtain the latest monitoring data. Cause: The scheduled trigger time is set earlier than the data source update node. For example, setting it to 9:00 daily, when the previous day's data has not yet been released.
  • Symptom: Interface errors are triggered when batch calling multiple data source plugins, with a returned status code of 429. Cause: The plugin_request_concurrency parameter is set too high, exceeding the rate limit threshold of the data source interface, triggering rate limit interception.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • View plugin request logs to confirm that the input parameters of each request match the configured plugin_field_mapping rules, and verify that the field mapping is correct.
  • Manually trigger a plugin call, compare the returned data fields with the daily public data of the data source, and confirm the timeliness and accuracy of the data.
  • Adjust the plugin_request_concurrency parameter to a lower value, run the batch call task, and confirm that no rate limit errors are triggered.
  • Check the trigger time of the scheduled task to confirm that it matches the data source update node, and check whether the next day's task has obtained newly released data.
