Port and Shipping Affairs Consultation and Response: Tool Calling and Plugins

Port and Shipping Affairs Consultation and Response: Tool Calling and Plugins

What the data for this category looks like

Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation. Data for port and shipping affairs consultation and response comes from three primary sources: direct maritime administration government public platforms, internal port group affair systems, and shipping company business manuals. Static service guide data updates quarterly. It includes fields such as item number, application channel, material list, processing time limit, and consultation phone number. Processing time limit uses workdays as the unit. Material list uses "pieces" as the unit. Real-time business data such as shipping schedules and berth occupancy is pushed by port scheduling systems. It updates once per minute. Fields include ship name, ETA time, and berth number. UTC standard time is used. All data uses structured format. Some related data must be pulled via API interfaces.

Structured fields for static service guides require tool calling to strictly match preset parameter names. This avoids field misalignment caused by fuzzy matching. The minute-level update frequency of real-time business data requires tool calling to set reasonable cache expiration times. This prevents returning outdated shipping schedule or berth information. Fields that use workdays as the unit for processing time limits require tool calling to convert natural language "days" to workday counts during parsing. This avoids confusing natural days and workdays, which reduces the accuracy of service guidance. The array format of material lists requires tool calling to correctly parse array content. It must clearly return multiple material requirements to inquiring users. Additionally, there are many professional terms in port and shipping. Parameter mapping for tool calling must adapt to industry-specific vocabulary to avoid translation errors.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueBasis for This Setting
functionCallForce enabledPort affair consultation has mostly structured parameters. Forcing enabled ensures parameters are parsed accurately and avoids fuzzy matching deviations
toolChoiceautoAllows the system to automatically select between knowledge base or real-time data plugins based on consultation content. This balances query efficiency and information accuracy
Session context retention duration3600 secondsPort affair consultations are typically completed within 1 hour. This duration ensures consistent consultation parameters for the same user's continuous inquiries
Multimodal file processing limit1000 MBMaterial scans submitted for port affairs typically do not exceed this size. This prevents parameter error triggers
Tool call result display countTop 2Affair consultations need to be concise. Limiting result counts reduces redundant information interference

Three Common Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: Tool call returns 400 <400> InternalError.Algo.InvalidParameter: Multimodal file size error. Cause: Multimodal file processing limit not configured. Large material scans for port affairs exceed the system's default threshold.
  • Phenomenon: Tool call output in workflows cannot be hidden. Full plugin debug logs appear in responses. Cause: Tool call result display rules not set. The system defaults to returning all plugin execution information.
  • Phenomenon: After inputting "share", the tool call parameter changes to "separate handover". Cause: Industry-specific word segmentation optimization not enabled. Port and shipping professional term word segmentation logic not adapted, leading to incorrect text translation.

How to Confirm Configuration Is Correct

  • Initiate a consultation including ship name and berth number. Check if the tool call correctly passes corresponding fields. Verify that the functionCall configuration is effective.
  • Upload a material scan of common size for port affairs. Check if a parameter error is triggered. Verify that the multimodal file processing limit configuration is correct.
  • Initiate two consecutive related consultations. Check if both tool calls use the same session parameters. Verify that the session context retention duration configuration is effective.
  • Input a consultation including professional terms such as "separate stowage and document submission". Check if tool call parameters are correctly parsed. Verify the effect of the word segmentation optimization configuration.

The values listed above are common starting points. They should be evaluated against the reader's own specific samples.
