What this category of data looks like
This category of data covers policy and regulatory basis questions for the iron and steel smelting field. It draws primarily from official documents released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and provincial-level industry and information departments. It also includes industry standards compiled by the China Iron and Steel Industry Association. Update frequency follows the schedule of policy releases, with no fixed cycle. Single policy documents range from 5000 to 10000 characters in length. Document structures include document number, issuing authority, effective date, applicable processes, and core clause content. Applicable processes include blast furnace ironmaking, converter steelmaking, and steel rolling and forming. Fields covered include pollutant emission limits, capacity replacement requirements, safety production specifications, and more. Units use industry standard values like mg/m³, ton, and cubic meter.
What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugin workflows
Iron and steel smelting policy documents are lengthy, with clearly segmented clauses. Tool calling must support long-text retrieval and clause-by-clause matching. This prevents truncation of critical information. Official data sources carry authoritative status. Plugins must bind verifiable official link indexes to prevent calls to non-compliant data sources. No fixed update cycle creates specific requirements. Plugins must support manual data source synchronization, or configure automatic synchronization logic that checks for updates quarterly. Policy requirements differ across production processes. Tool calling must support filtering matching policy clauses using smelting process keywords. This narrows the search scope.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice | auto | Adapts to automatic matching for multi-clause policies, no need to manually specify function calls |
| Maximum number of returned entries per single tool call | Top 8 entries | Matches the typical number of clauses in a single iron and steel smelting policy document |
| Context window upper limit | 8000–12000 token | Adapts to the total length of a single policy document plus conversation history |
| Data source synchronization cycle | Calibrated based on actual testing | Matches the non-fixed update schedule of official policies |
functionCall traceability switch | Enabled | Ensures returned results are linked to the corresponding policy document source |
| Content truncation rule | Retain complete clauses | Avoids splitting policy clauses which leads to understanding inaccuracies |
Three common configuration errors
- When previewing the plugin, policy content is retrieved but the final output is empty. This happens because the plugin did not correctly bind the index mapping for the iron and steel smelting policy data source. Search results cannot then be linked to the conversation context.
- After using chunk mode to call the pushdata API to upload policy files, the index status always shows "in progress". This occurs because
toolChoicewas not configured to trigger mode. The index status is not synchronized to the conversation chain as a result. - Calling tools via the API fails to return the referenced policy file name. This happens because the
functionCalltraceability configuration was not enabled. The metadata return field was not activated either.
How to confirm the configuration is correct
- Submit a test query containing specific smelting process policy keywords. Check whether the FastGPT v4.17.0 tool call log triggers the corresponding matching logic.
- Call the pushdata API to upload a single iron and steel smelting policy document. Confirm that the index status finishes updating within 10 minutes.
- Call the API interface to initiate a tool call request. Check whether the returned results include the policy document source field.
- Test the plugin preview function. Confirm that the output content fully matches the retrieved policy clauses, with no truncation or missing content.
