Tool Calling and Plugins for Telecommunications Equipment Intelligent Due Diligence Reports

When financial institutions conduct due diligence on telecommunications equipment suppliers, required data comes from four main sources: public

What the data for this category looks like

When financial institutions conduct due diligence on telecommunications equipment suppliers, required data comes from four main sources: public parameter documents of telecommunications equipment manufacturers, operator operation and maintenance management systems, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s radio transmission equipment filing database, and industry centralized procurement bid winning announcements.

Update cycles vary across sources:

  • Manufacturer parameter documents are updated annually
  • Operation and maintenance data is synced daily
  • Filing database data is updated every six months

Each individual due diligence document includes four fixed modules: basic equipment information, performance parameters, operation and maintenance records, and compliance status. Fields include equipment model, unique serial number, network access license number, number of ports, cumulative operating hours, firmware version number, and compliance verification status.

  • The unit for number of ports is "units"
  • The unit for cumulative operating hours is "hours"
  • Firmware version numbers use a dot-separated string format.

What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugins

The telecommunications equipment due diligence process for financial institutions faces specific constraints on tool calling and plugins, driven by four core factors: dispersed multi-source data, periodic updates, fixed module structures, and specific field units.

Multi-source data requires integration with three types of data sources that use different interface formats. Independent authentication and pull rules must be configured for each data source. The varied update cycles require differentiation between real-time pulled operation and maintenance data, regularly synced filing data, and annually updated manufacturer parameter data. Different cache expiration durations must be set for each category. The fixed module structure requires plugins to split field extraction logic by module, to prevent field confusion caused by full-document parsing. Specific field units require adding a unit verification step during tool calling, to ensure imported data such as port counts and operating hours conform to preset formats.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
tool_call_timeout300 secondsTelecommunications equipment due diligence requires connecting multiple types of data sources. 300 seconds covers the total time required for concurrent requests across multiple interfaces
plugin_cache_ttlConfigured by data source category: manufacturer parameters use 31536000 seconds, filing data uses 15768000 seconds, operation and maintenance data uses 86400 secondsMatches the different update cycles of telecommunications equipment data sources, avoiding cache expiration or redundant storage
stream_response_enabledtrueTelecommunications equipment due diligence reports have large data volumes. Streaming responses return results in segments, reducing interaction latency
field_validation_requiredtrueTelecommunications equipment fields have fixed unit formats. Validation ensures imported data units conform to preset rules
mcp_protocolsseAdapts to the real-time callback requirements of telecommunications equipment data sources, resolving limitations of local call protocols
plugin_api_rate_limit10 requests per minuteComplies with API access rate limiting rules for most telecommunications equipment data sources, avoiding access bans

The parameter values provided on this page are common recommendations used as a starting point 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 configuration errors

  • Issue: When the MCP access method is set to npx, remote telecommunications equipment data sources cannot be pulled. Cause: The NPX protocol only supports local script calls, cannot connect to remote API interfaces, and is not suitable for multi-source remote data pulling for telecommunications equipment.
  • Issue: When calling the due diligence tool, only the full result is returned after the request completes, with no segmented streaming response. Cause: The stream_response_enabled configuration item is not enabled, so streaming response mode is inactive.
  • Issue: The compliance status from a prior due diligence cannot be used as a prompt for the next tool call. Cause: Plugin context transfer rules are not configured, and historical tool return results are not injected into the current request’s prompt.

How to confirm your configuration is complete

  • Access the plugin management page, check the value of the mcp_protocol configuration item, and confirm it matches the API callback format of the target telecommunications equipment data source.
  • Initiate a test call, observe whether the tool returns results in segmented streaming format, and confirm the streaming response configuration is active.
  • Import a simulated set of telecommunications equipment operation and maintenance data, verify that the field verification step filters values that do not match required unit formats, and confirm the field verification configuration is enabled.
  • Review system operation logs, confirm no timeout errors occur during tool calls, and verify the timeout configuration aligns with actual request durations.
