Tool Calling and Plugins for Communication Equipment Yield Rates

Sources of communication equipment yield and market data include vendor operation and maintenance revenue ledgers, public communication industry

What this category of data looks like

Sources of communication equipment yield and market data include vendor operation and maintenance revenue ledgers, public communication industry sector market APIs, and monitoring datasets from third-party industry data service providers. Two update cadences apply: real-time market data is pushed every 15 minutes, and daily yield report datasets are updated at a fixed time each day.

The documentation uses a structured format, divided into bulk data files and single-device detail APIs. Bulk files are grouped by deployment region and device model. Fields include device_serial (device unique serial number, string type), daily_return_amount (single-day revenue difference, unit: yuan), market_correlation (correlation coefficient with sector market, float type), deployment_region (deployment region, string type).

What Constraints These Characteristics Impose on Tool Calling and Plugins

Real-time market data updates every 15 minutes, so tool calling intervals must not exceed this cycle, otherwise expired data will be retrieved. Daily yield reports update at a fixed time each day, so plugin scheduled tasks must be set to run after this time to ensure complete daily data is pulled.

Structured documentation is grouped by deployment region and device model, so plugins must support filtering using deployment_region or device_serial as query parameters. The correlation coefficient field is a float type, so plugin parameter parsing must support receiving and validating float values, to avoid data exceptions caused by default integer handling.

There are differences in field naming across different data sources, so plugins must configure field mapping rules to support multi-source data compatibility.

How to Set Configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
tool_call_interval600 secondsCommunication equipment market data updates every 15 minutes. Setting a 10-minute calling interval ensures access to the latest data while avoiding frequent requests
plugin_schedule_cron0 30 0 * * *Daily yield reports update at 0:00 each day. Setting this cron expression pulls complete daily data 30 minutes after the update time
tool_request_timeout30 secondsCommunication industry data sources typically respond in 10-20 seconds. Setting a 30-second timeout avoids misclassifying normal requests as timed out failures
tool_param_filter_fields["device_serial", "deployment_region"]Communication equipment data is grouped by device serial number and deployment region. Query filtering must support these two fields
max_batch_tool_requests50Excessively large single batch request volumes may trigger API rate limits. A batch size of 50 balances query efficiency and stability
plugin_schema_import_modeauto_matchThere are differences in field naming across different data sources. Auto-match mode reduces the workload of manual mapping

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

Three Common Mistakes

  • Symptom: After opening the plugin management page, the import option for custom plugins cannot be found, and no upload entry is displayed in the interface. Cause: The installed FastGPT version is lower than 4.8.17. The plugin import path was adjusted prior to this version.
  • Symptom: When calling a tool, the device model in the user's query is not correctly extracted to the q parameter, and the tool returns results unrelated to the specified device. Cause: No tool calling parameter extraction rules are configured, and the device serial number in the user query is not mapped to the q parameter.
  • Symptom: The number of results returned during batch tool calls is lower than expected, and yield data for some devices is not retrieved. Cause: The max_batch_tool_requests configuration value is not adjusted, and the default batch quantity is smaller than the total number of devices to be queried.

How to Confirm Configurations Are Set Correctly

  • Manually trigger a tool call, check whether the returned result fields match the configured mapping rules, and confirm that yield data for the specified device is included.
  • View tool call logs, confirm that frequent request rate limit errors do not occur, and verify that the tool_call_interval setting aligns with the data source's update frequency.
  • Check scheduled task execution logs, confirm that the daily early morning plugin task triggers on time and completes data pulling.
  • Test modifying the parameter filter fields, verify that tool calls only return results that match the specified deployment region or device serial number.
