What the data for this category looks like
The data for iron ore intelligent due diligence reports mainly comes from bulk commodity spot platforms, customs import statistics, futures exchange market data, and port warehouse data. Data update frequencies are divided into daily updates, weekly updates, and real-time updates during trading hours. Spot quotes and daily transaction data are updated daily, port inventory data is updated weekly, and futures contract market data is pushed in real time during trading hours. Document structures typically include fields such as product category, origin, daily average price, total port inventory, import cost price, and basis, with units including yuan per wet metric ton, ten thousand metric tons, US dollars per dry metric ton, basis points, and others.
Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins
The multi-source and heterogeneous nature of iron ore data requires the tool calling link to support simultaneous connection to spot, futures, and customs data sources. Differences in update frequencies across data sources require configuring differentiated calling intervals. Inconsistent fields and units — for example, some platforms use "wet metric ton" while others use "dry metric ton" for pricing — require plugins to include built-in field mapping and unit conversion logic. The timeliness of real-time market data requires setting a short timeout threshold for tool calls, while batch inventory data can allow a longer response time. Permission verification for customs interfaces requires configuring dedicated API keys and data range permissions in plugins to prevent unauthorized calls.
How to Configure Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
tool_call_timeout | Set to 8–12 seconds for real-time data sources, 50–70 seconds for batch data sources | Real-time market data has strict response time requirements, while batch data has a large number of returned entries, requiring matching different response duration needs |
max_concurrent_tool_calls | 5–8 | Controls the number of concurrent calls to avoid triggering third-party interface rate limits and platform resource bottlenecks |
plugin_api_rate_limit | Set to 10 requests per minute for spot platforms, 20 requests per minute for futures exchanges | Matches the official rate limit rules of different third-party platforms to prevent calls from being blocked |
field_mapping_strategy | Enable automatic mapping + custom field supplementation | Iron ore data sources have large differences in field naming and units, requiring a balance between configuration efficiency and data accuracy |
allow_multi_statements | true | The due diligence report generation process needs to execute data storage and result queries simultaneously, requiring support for multi-line SQL statement execution |
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 validate against local test samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- Symptom: A "SQL syntax error" is returned when executing a database plugin, and logs show only the first SQL statement was executed. Cause: The
allow_multi_statementsconfiguration item was not enabled, and the database driver prohibits multi-line SQL execution by default. - Symptom: Tool calls return empty field values or inconsistent units, resulting in significant data deviations in generated due diligence reports. Cause: Field mapping and unit conversion logic were not configured, and field naming and pricing units from different data sources were not unified.
- Symptom: Some tool calls return a "429 Too Many Requests" status code, causing task execution to fail. Cause: Rate limit thresholds matching third-party platforms were not set, and the number of concurrent calls exceeded the interface's allowed limit.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Call the standard test prompt to generate iron ore due diligence fragments, and check whether tool return results include preset required fields and whether field units comply with business rules.
- Initiate multi-round tool call tests, observe whether rate limit-related errors are triggered, and adjust concurrency and rate limit configurations to comply with third-party interface call limits.
- Execute a test request containing multi-line SQL, confirm that the database plugin can normally execute all statements without syntax or execution interruption issues.
- View tool call logs to confirm that timeout settings match the response durations of different data sources, with no abnormal timeout retry records.
