What the data for this category looks like
The core data for this category comes from enterprise procurement platforms, public resource trading platforms, supplier databases, contract management systems, and audit issue repositories, and is updated daily. Daily processed documents include procurement plans, requirement specifications, bidding documents, bid evaluation records, contracts, acceptance documents, and supplier complaint materials. Data fields cover procurement methods, budget basis, scoring methods, supplier qualification requirements, performance acceptance standards, and more. Some data comes from structured interfaces, while some are unstructured documents with no unified standard format.
How these characteristics impose constraints on tool calling and plugins
Scattered data sources and inconsistent formats require tool calling to adapt to interface specifications for multiple data sources and parsing logic for documents in different formats. The daily update frequency requires plugins to be configured with a scheduled synchronization mechanism, to ensure the latest procurement data is used for service inquiry and reply. Diverse document types require support for content extraction and field parsing across multiple document categories. Severe consequences of procurement compliance errors require tool calling to add parameter verification and failure retry steps, to avoid compliance review oversights caused by calling exceptions.
How to set the configuration
Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice | auto | Adapt to automatic tool calling requirements for multiple data sources and document types in bidding and procurement scenarios, no manual tool calling specification needed |
| Function call trigger condition | Match procurement compliance keywords | Ensure tool calling is only triggered in compliance scenarios such as procurement method verification and qualification review, avoiding invalid calls |
| Single tool call timeout | 300 seconds | Cover the full time required to retrieve procurement plans, bidding documents and other documents from multiple data sources, avoiding interruptions to the compliance review process due to timeout |
| Plugin context length | 800–1200 characters | Adapt to the core field length of bidding and procurement documents, avoiding information loss caused by context overflow |
| Result recall count | Top 8 entries | Cover the core reference data required for a single compliance review, avoiding interference from excessive redundant information |
| Error retry count | 2 times | Supplement retries when tool calling fails, reducing the probability of call failure caused by temporary network or interface fluctuations |
Three common mistakes
- Phenomenon: An error is returned after adding the Doc2X plugin and calling it, and the interface displays a plugin configuration exception prompt. Cause: The plugin's parsing parameters were not adjusted for the format of bidding and procurement documents, resulting in failure to properly parse unstructured documents.
- Phenomenon: After referencing a plugin in a workflow followed by code execution, a parameter missing prompt is displayed when clicking input. Cause: The procurement-related fields returned by the plugin were not matched and mapped to the input parameters of subsequent workflow nodes, resulting in field incompatibility.
- Phenomenon: After using a search plugin to retrieve content, complete content of the retrieved web pages cannot be obtained. Cause: The context length parameter of the web content extraction tool was not configured, resulting in content exceeding the limit being truncated.
How to confirm the configuration is properly set
- Manually trigger tool calling to retrieve a procurement plan document, and check whether the returned fields include core compliance review items such as procurement methods and budget basis.
- Simulate a scheduled synchronization task, check the data synchronization logs, and confirm that the daily updated procurement data has been correctly loaded into the knowledge base.
- Trigger a tool call failure scenario, check whether the retry mechanism is automatically triggered, and confirm that the number of retries meets the configuration requirements.
- View the workflow run logs, confirm that the
toolChoiceparameter has taken effect, and that tool calling is only triggered in compliance scenarios.
