What data for this category looks like
Data for this category comes primarily from the official monitoring system of the national refractory materials industry association and upstream refractory raw material spot trading platforms. Updates run daily, covering same-day ex-factory market trends and previous day’s yield rate related data. The document structure includes fields such as detailed product categories, production origins, benchmark transaction prices, raw material cost proportion, inventory turnover days, and more. Units uniformly follow physical measurement units like yuan/ton, ten thousand tons, days. No percentage-based statistical items are included.
What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calls and plugins
The multi-source nature of industry data sources requires tool calls to interface with both the association’s monitoring system and the raw material trading platform. Separate authentication rules must be configured for each system. The daily update rhythm requires scheduled plugin triggers to match the fixed daily pull cycle. This avoids frequent calls exceeding interface rate limits. Fields include clear detailed product categories, so tool calls must accurately pass the corresponding category parameters to filter results. Generic fuzzy matching cannot be relied upon. The physical measurement unit rules require plugin return results to strictly follow preset units. No additional unit conversion is needed, but field format compliance must be verified.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolCallTimeout | 600 seconds | Refractory material industry data source interface response times typically range from 300 to 500 seconds, allowing sufficient buffer time |
maxToolCallsPerRound | 3 times | A single round of yield rate analysis requires calling three types of tools in sequence: market trend interface, cost interface, and inventory interface |
mcpAuthType | apiKey authentication | Both industry monitoring platforms and raw material trading platforms use API keys as authentication credentials |
historyMessagePassing | Enabled and carry the first 2 rounds of dialogue | Yield rate comparisons require referencing previous day’s market data. Historical dialogue can pass previously analyzed product filtering conditions |
toolCallRetryTimes | 2 times | Covers occasional temporary interface failures, preventing task interruption from a single failed call |
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. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Mistakes
- Issue: Empty conversation logs after tool calls, with no tool call related records. Cause: The
enableToolCallLogconfiguration item is not enabled, or the tool call timed out before the log writing process was triggered. - Issue: Unable to pass historical dialogue parameters when calling a specified tool, with no historical message fields in the compiled code. Cause: The
historyMessagePassingconfiguration is not enabled, or historical message passing rules are not configured in the tool call node. - Issue: MCP authentication failure, returning
401 Unauthorizedstatus code. Cause:mcpAuthTypeis not configured asapiKey, or the correct platform API key is not filled in the tool configuration.
How to confirm configurations are correctly set
- Run a single round of tool call test. Check if the conversation logs include tool call request and return records, confirm the log configuration item is effective.
- Manually pass dialogue containing historical product filtering conditions. Call the tool and check if the returned results match the filtered refractory material categories, confirm historical message passing configuration is correct.
- Trigger an MCP authentication test. Check the authentication status returned by the interface, confirm authentication configuration matches platform requirements.
- Simulate an interface delay scenario. Verify if tool calls complete within the preset duration, confirm timeout configuration matches data source response rhythm.
