What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugin workflows
Official source requirements: When calling tools, verify that the publisher of retrieval results is a compliant regulatory body. This prevents non-official content from being included. Update frequency requirements: Configure plugins with scheduled pull tasks. This ensures the knowledge base stays synced with the latest policies. Document structure and field requirements: Retain metadata such as document number and effective date when calling tools. Filter policy content unrelated to port shipping based on scope of application. Single document length is relatively long. The tool calling context window must reserve sufficient space to carry retrieval results.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice | auto | Adapt to scenarios requiring dynamic retrieval tool calls in port policy Q&A, supports automatic determination of whether external tools are needed |
| Number of documents recalled per call | Top 6 documents | Port policy documents have long individual lengths; excessive documents will exceed context window limits |
| Context window length | 8000 token | Required to carry complete policy retrieval results including document number, effective date, and clauses |
| Timeout threshold | 30 seconds | Official policy file retrieval accesses multiple platform interfaces, reserve sufficient response time |
functionCall | enabled | Call tools to obtain latest policy data to compensate for timeliness shortcomings of static knowledge bases |
| Scope of application filtering | Configure per port shipping domain | Filter policy documents unrelated to this domain to ensure accurate retrieval results |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: Tool call returns results including policy documents unrelated to port shipping. Cause: No scope of application filtering rules are configured, leading to irrelevant content being included in retrieval results.
- Phenomenon: API call returns a 514 status code. Cause: Timeout threshold is set too short, and the official policy retrieval interface does not return data within the preset time.
- Phenomenon: Full knowledge base content is automatically included during tool calling. Cause: Non-essential default knowledge base recall switches are not disabled, causing confusion in tool calling logic.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Submit a test query such as "What are the berthing approval procedures for container ships at a certain coastal port", and verify returned results include official document numbers and effective dates.
- Review tool calling logs to confirm the
toolChoiceparameter is set to the expected value. - Simulate a timeout scenario to verify the system triggers reasonable retry or error handling logic.
- Check the number of documents recalled per call to confirm it matches the configured upper limit.
