Tool Calling and Plugins for Satellite Communications

What the data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes primarily from official quarterly and annual financial reports released by satellite operating enterprises, public spectrum usage reports from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and industry compilation documents from third-party aerospace consulting institutions. The data update cycle follows a quarterly baseline, with additional syncs for temporary spectrum adjustments and major launch project announcements. Individual financial report documents typically include core fields such as business segment revenue, end-user scale, spectrum occupancy status, and operation and maintenance costs. Revenue units are mostly ten-thousand-level currency units, user counts are counted in ten-thousands, and spectrum bandwidth is measured in MHz.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugins

The scattered sources and varied update rhythms of satellite communications financial report data require tool calling plugins to support multi-source data connection, as well as both scheduled pull and manual trigger update modes. The specific document structure and exclusive fields require plugins to preset extraction rules for corresponding fields, to avoid field loss caused by general parsing logic. The exclusive measurement units require plugins to have built-in unit verification logic, automatically adapt to unit conversions for currency, user counts, and spectrum bandwidth across different scenarios, and prevent statistical caliber deviations. Additionally, the non-periodic updates of temporary announcement data require plugins to support rapid import of temporary data and index rebuilding.

How to configure

Configuration Item	Recommended Setting	Rationale
`plugin_auto_sync_interval`	`3600 seconds (1 hour)`	Satellite financial reports have two update types: quarterly fixed updates and temporary announcements. A 1-hour interval balances timeliness and resource consumption
`PARSE_FILE_MARKDOWN_MODE`	`preserve_table_and_caption`	Satellite financial reports contain a large number of structured business tables. Preserving format ensures field integrity for subsequent analysis
`plugin_call_timeout`	`120 seconds`	Satellite data sources may include overseas interfaces or large-capacity documents. A longer timeout prevents normal calls from being interrupted
`plugin_extract_fields`	`["营收", "终端用户数", "频段带宽", "运维成本"]`	Matches core statistical fields of satellite communications financial reports, reduces invalid data extraction
`plugin_allow_external_port`	`Only internal private network segments`	Avoids security risks caused by exposed public ports, complies with compliance requirements for internal enterprise use
`plugin_log_retention_days`	`90 days`	Meets compliance audit requirements while controlling resource overhead for long-term storage

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. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.

Three common errors

Phenomenon: The plugin call returns a 403 Forbidden status code, and external data sources cannot be accessed. Cause: plugin_allow_external_port is not configured to the private network segment; public exposure of the plugin port blocks access.
Phenomenon: Specific financial report fields are missing from knowledge base recall results. Cause: Corresponding fields are not configured in plugin_extract_fields. The plugin only extracts default general fields and does not cover satellite communications exclusive statistical items.
Phenomenon: No return logs are generated after triggering the plugin with a curl command. Cause: The plugin_log_query_enabled configuration item is not enabled, the system does not record detailed plugin call logs, making execution results impossible to query.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

Execute the preset curl call command, check if the returned results include all fields configured in plugin_extract_fields.
View the synchronization logs in the plugin management interface, confirm that the most recent automatic synchronization task has completed successfully with no timeout errors.
Verify internal network segment access permissions for the plugin interface, confirm that the plugin service port cannot be accessed from public environments.
Trigger a manual plugin call, check if the system logs generate corresponding call records that include complete request and response parameters.
