What the Data for This Category Looks Like
The data for industrial metals financing daily reports is sourced primarily from publicly available settlement data from domestic and overseas futures exchanges, and daily transaction records from industry spot circulation monitoring platforms. The update cadence is daily T+1 release of the full previous trading day’s report. The document structure is a structured table split by metal category, including fields such as transaction date, product code, financing balance, daily financing purchase scale, financing position ratio, spot linked price difference, and others. Field units are uniformly RMB ten thousand yuan and tons. Some cross-border products include US dollar denominated converted values.
Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins
The daily T+1 update cadence requires configuring tool calling with a daily scheduled trigger to avoid frequent pulling of invalid old data. The category-split document structure requires plugins to support setting data filtering rules by target industrial metal category, reducing unnecessary data loading. Fields include multiple units and cross-border converted values, requiring the tool calling module to retain original unit parsing logic while configuring exchange rate linkage parameters to handle cross-currency data. The structured table format requires plugins to preset field mapping rules to avoid field misalignment during parsing.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
plugin_fetch_schedule | Daily 09:00 trigger | Matches the T+1 update cadence of industrial metals financing daily reports, ensuring complete previous day’s data is pulled |
plugin_data_filter_rule | Filter by ["product code"], retain ["financing balance", "daily purchase amount"] fields | Focuses on core financing metrics, filters non-essential fields to reduce parsing and transmission load |
plugin_unit_parse_mode | Retain original units + automatic conversion | Adapts to the dual-unit fields included in the daily report, avoiding parsing errors where values and units do not match |
plugin_fetch_timeout | 300 seconds | Allows sufficient time to complete full pulling and structured parsing of industrial metals financing daily reports |
plugin_exchange_rate_sync | Daily 08:30 sync exchange rates | Ensures US dollar converted values for cross-border products match the day’s exchange rates, maintaining data accuracy |
plugin_max_return_count | Top 10 entries | Matches the typical number of core industrial metal categories in a single daily report, avoiding redundant returned data |
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. It is recommended to test against one’s own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- The issue is a
400 Bad Requesterror returned by tool calling, prompting field format mismatch. The cause is failure to configure theplugin_unit_parse_modeparameter, directly parsing value fields with units, leading to value parsing failure. - The issue is an empty result returned after calling the plugin. The cause is the scheduled trigger time being earlier than the actual public update time of the industrial metals financing daily report, pulling unpublished empty data.
- The issue is incorrect field mapping when calling the knowledge base upload tool. The cause is failure to configure field mapping rules according to the structured format of the industrial metals financing daily report, causing uploaded titles and content to fail to match the knowledge base’s indexing requirements.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Manually trigger a plugin call, verify that the returned fields and units match the standard format of the industrial metals financing daily report.
- Review tool calling logs, confirm the trigger time is later than the public update time of that day’s industrial metals financing daily report, with no timeouts or parsing errors.
- Compare cross-border product data returned by the plugin with public exchange rate data, confirm the converted value calculation logic meets expectations.
- Call the knowledge base upload tool, verify that uploaded titles and content can be properly indexed by the knowledge base.
