What the data for this category looks like
Duty-free financial report data comes from two main sources: publicly released annual and semi-annual business reports from listed companies, and duty-free goods operation filing and monitoring data from the General Administration of Customs. Updates follow a fixed schedule: listed companies release financial reports quarterly and annually, while filing data is updated once per year. Most documents include revenue breakdowns by business segment, passenger traffic figures, and average transaction values. Revenue is listed in Chinese Yuan, passenger traffic in person-times, and average transaction value in Yuan per person-time. Some cross-border duty-free data includes additional foreign currency settlement fields.
Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins
Duty-free financial report data updates on a fixed schedule. Tool calls must align with quarterly and annual update cycles for data retrieval, and accommodate format differences across reports. The multi-segment field structure requires plugins to support filtering for specific duty-free business segments, to exclude non-duty-free statistical data. Some datasets include foreign currency settlement fields, so tools must include pre-processing steps for exchange rate conversion. Differences between the two data sources require plugins to support parallel calls to multiple sources and result merging, to ensure complete analysis data.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
tool_call_timeout | 600 seconds | Duty-free financial report data involves pulling from multiple data sources. A single call covers interface requests and data merging processes; 600 seconds prevents premature timeout interruptions |
batch_request_size | 2–4 | Duty-free financial reports have many field dimensions. Batching requests reduces single-api load while controlling result processing latency |
field_filter_rule | Only retain duty-free business segment fields | Financial reports include statistical content from non-duty-free businesses; pre-filtering ensures the targeting of analysis data |
currency_conversion_enabled | Enabled | Some cross-border duty-free data includes foreign currency settlement fields; conversion to a unified unit ensures analysis consistency |
request_retry_count | 2 | Multi-data-source calls may experience occasional network fluctuations; 2 retries improves the success rate of data retrieval |
max_return_field_count | 25 | The number of core analysis fields for duty-free financial reports is fixed; 25 covers all analysis dimensions while avoiding exceeding LLM context limits |
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 specific analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: Tool calls get stuck for 10 seconds before returning empty results or interface errors. Cause: A reasonable
tool_call_timeoutparameter is not configured. The time required for multi-data-source pulling and merging exceeds the default threshold, causing the call to timeout and interrupt. - Phenomenon: Plugin initial values cannot be entered normally. Global variable updates do not take effect during the tool calling phase. Cause: Automatic synchronization configuration for global variables is not enabled, or the configured variable scope does not cover the current tool calling node.
- Phenomenon: The workflow directly enters the tool calling error phase after initiating a query, with no intermediate data loading step. Cause: No pre-data verification step is configured when the process starts. The financial report data fields passed during direct tool calling do not meet the format required by the plugin.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Manually trigger a tool call, check whether the returned results only include fields for duty-free business segments, and verify that the units of the fields match expectations.
- Simulate a cross-border duty-free data call scenario, confirm whether the tool automatically completes exchange rate conversion and unifies the unit to Chinese Yuan.
- Adjust the tool call timeout parameter to simulate a long-duration scenario, confirm that the call does not experience timeout interruptions.
- Check the global variable configuration, initiate a workflow test, confirm that variable values can be properly passed to the tool calling phase.
