What the data for this category looks like
Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.
What constraints these characteristics impose on the "tool calling and plugins" workflow
- Data updates at fixed production nodes. Tool calling trigger logic must bind to preset nodes such as shift handover and post-shift summary. It cannot support randomly triggered calling scenarios.
- Specialized fields such as coal mill outlet temperature and coal particle size entering the furnace use different units than standard general ledgers. Plugin parameter parsing rules require preset coal chemical-specific field mappings to prevent parsing errors.
- A single ledger entry contains dozens of structured fields. The single data pull limit for tool calls must match this scale to avoid model context overload.
- Ledger data is sourced from multiple connected systems. Plugin data source configuration must support cross-system data pulling.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice | auto | Adapt to multi-tool linkage requirements, automatically select ledger pulling, data verification, and report generation tools |
functionCall | Call according to the preset function list | Fixed call to three dedicated functions: coal chemical ledger pulling, parameter verification, and report generation |
| Tool calling trigger timing | Bind to the post-shift summary node | Match the update rhythm of coal chemical ledgers, avoid pulling incomplete temporary data |
| Data source pull limit | 50 records per batch | Adapt to the field scale of a single ledger, avoid context overflow |
| Parameter parsing rules | Enable coal chemical-specific field mapping | Adapt to units and meanings of specialized fields such as coal particle size entering the furnace and coal mill temperature |
| Context length limit | 8000 token | Adapt to text length after multi-ledger summary, avoid model truncation |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Tool calls return an "invalid API Key" error or no response. Cause: Confused global general API Key with workflow-specific API Key, and did not use the key configuration bound to the workflow.
- Generated reports include input and output logs from knowledge base searches. Cause: Did not disable non-essential log output in workflow configuration, or the tool call chain did not filter knowledge base-related context.
- Plugin configuration imported via CURL cannot click the confirm button. Cause: Did not correctly fill in the request headers and parameter format in the CURL, or did not match FastGPT's plugin interface specifications.
How to Confirm Successful Configuration
- Trigger the preset post-shift summary node, and check if the tool automatically pulls ledger data for the corresponding batch.
- Review workflow run logs to confirm no knowledge base search input and output fields are present.
- Import plugin configuration in CURL format, and confirm the interface displays the "Save Successful" prompt.
- After calling the tool, check if returned parameters match the specialized fields and units of coal chemical ledgers.
