Tool Calls and Plugins for Condiment Yield Rates

Condiment yield rate and market data comes from daily price monitoring at major domestic agricultural wholesale markets and dealer shipment tracking

What the data for this category looks like

Condiment yield rate and market data comes from daily price monitoring at major domestic agricultural wholesale markets and dealer shipment tracking data from industry associations. Full daily data aggregation is completed by 16:00 each day. Each data entry is a structured item with five core fields:

  • Product name (including segmented categories such as light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, yellow soybean paste, etc.)
  • Trading specification
  • Average wholesale price
  • Total daily trading volume
  • Monitoring location

The unit for average wholesale price is yuan per kilogram. The unit for total trading volume is tons. No percentage-based statistical fields are included. All values are original statistics from that day’s actual transactions.

Constraints for Tool Calls and Plugins

Decentralized multi-location data sources require tool calls to support aggregation of multiple API endpoints. Merge price data for the same category across different locations. The large number of segmented product categories requires tool calls to perform precise filtering by product name. This avoids mixing in market data from unrelated categories. The fixed daily update rhythm requires plugin scheduled triggers to match the data aggregation cutoff time. This prevents calls to ungenerated historical data. The fields include two numeric data types: total trading volume and average price. Tool calls must configure extraction rules for numeric fields to ensure accurate subsequent yield rate calculations.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
plugin_api_timeout600 secondsAggregating multi-location condiment data requires accessing multiple wholesale market APIs; 600 seconds covers retrieval time for most scenarios
rag_recall_top_kTop 8 entriesCondiments have many segmented specifications; too many recalled entries cause redundant context, too few fail to cover quotes from major trading locations
workflow_trigger_cron0 17 * * *Wholesale market data is fully aggregated by 16:00 daily; triggering at 17:00 ensures access to the latest daily data
api_knowledge_base_idExclusive ID bound by categoryIndustry research reports and historical data for different condiment categories are stored in separate knowledge bases; specifying an exclusive ID prevents data confusion
tool_call_filter_fieldProduct nameQuoted prices vary significantly across condiment segmented categories; filtering by product name accurately matches market data for target categories
tool_max_retries3 retriesTemporary network fluctuations may occur during multi-location API calls; 3 retries reduces the impact of single call failures

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, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: Target category data is missing after tool calls, and logs show the avg_price field is empty. Cause: The tool_call_filter_field parameter is not configured to a specific condiment category, and the tool pulls full-category data by default without filtering.
  • Symptom: Scheduled workflow triggers return previous day’s data, with a 200 status code but a data date earlier than the current day. Cause: workflow_trigger_cron is set earlier than the data update cutoff time, resulting in calls to unaggregated historical data.
  • Symptom: Custom classification variables do not automatically sync the latest category call count statistics. Cause: The variable_auto_update switch is not enabled, and the variable update trigger event after tool calls is not bound.

How to Verify Proper Configuration

  • Manually trigger a tool call, and check if the returned product name field includes the preset target condiment categories.
  • View workflow trigger logs to confirm the trigger time is later than the daily data update cutoff time.
  • Check the variable management interface to confirm the variable_auto_refresh switch is enabled, and the update event after tool calls is bound.
  • Call the API test interface with the specified api_knowledge_base_id, and confirm the returned knowledge base content matches the condiment category.
