What the Data for This Category Looks Like
The policy and regulatory basis data for this category primarily originates from official documents issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and local communications management departments. The data update frequency is once per quarter. New policy documents and revisions to existing documents are synced to the repository. Documents follow standard official formatting, including fields such as document number, issuing authority, effective date, applicable region, clause number, clause content, and supporting implementation rules. Field types include character-type document number, date-type effective date, administrative division-type applicable region, numeric-type clause number, and text-type clause content.
Constraints Imposed on Tool Calling and Plugin Workflows
The policy data characteristics for this category impose three constraints on tool calling and plugin configuration. First, the data includes precise effective date and applicable region fields. Tool calling must support filtering and retrieval using these two fields to prevent returning expired or cross-region invalid policies. Second, the data updates once per quarter. The plugin’s data source sync cycle must be set to no more than 90 days to ensure the latest policy content is retrieved when calling. Third, the document structure is fixed and clause numbers are clear. Tool calling result parsing logic must extract target content by clause number to avoid confusion between policy clauses from different sections.
Configuration Settings
The following configurations apply to the tool calling and plugin features of FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice | Specify the policy retrieval tool | Ensure every tool call points to the dedicated policy retrieval plugin, preventing the model from calling unrelated tools |
| Tool call timeout | 600 seconds | Policy documents are lengthy, so sufficient time is required for retrieval and parsing processes |
| Knowledge base filter scope | Only communication tower policy knowledge base | This scenario only requires calling policy data for this category, excluding interference from other domain knowledge bases |
| Single retrieval result limit | Top 3-5 entries | Policy Q&A typically only requires core clauses; excessive results increase context length and processing load |
| Result parsing rule | Extract core content by clause number | Match the fixed structure of policy documents to ensure the accuracy and readability of returned content |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Issue: The specified communication tower policy knowledge base cannot be selected during tool calling, and only the full knowledge base is displayed. Cause: The binding setting for the knowledge base filter scope was not enabled in the configuration, causing the tool call to default to calling all associated knowledge bases.
- Issue: Tool calls return raw JSON or XML code blocks instead of readable policy clause content. Cause: No result parsing rule was configured, so the tool only returns raw retrieval data without structured conversion by clause number.
- Issue: Tool calls time out, returning a connection timeout error. Cause: The set timeout period is too short, and the policy document retrieval and parsing process did not complete within the limited time.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Review the tool call configuration page to confirm
toolChoiceis bound to the dedicated policy retrieval tool, and that the binding is correct. - Initiate a simulated test call, input a policy query that includes region and effective date, and verify the returned results only include policy content from the communication tower domain.
- Review tool call logs to confirm the number of retrieval results matches the set single limit, and that parsed content is ordered by clause number.
- Simulate a timeout scenario, adjust the timeout period to meet business requirements, and confirm no timeout error occurs during the call process.
