Supplier and Process Quality Audit for Iron and Steel Smelting and Continuous Casting: Tool Calling and Plugins

Data for this category originates from raw iron and scrap input data, real-time L2 process control collected data, laboratory composition test

This documentation applies to FastGPT v4.17.0.

What this category of data looks like

Data for this category originates from raw iron and scrap input data, real-time L2 process control collected data, laboratory composition test reports, workshop MES system data, energy medium system operation records, and equipment status monitoring data. Daily documents include heat plans, batching lists, converter smelting records, composition analysis reports, continuous casting process parameter records, and slab quality judgment sheets. Data update cycles cover single records generated per heat, real-time pushed process parameters, and shift-level summarized scheduling and quality reports. Fields include core indicators such as smelting temperature, component proportion, billet pulling speed, and casting duration.

What constraints these characteristics impose on tool calling and plugin workflows

The high-temperature continuous production and furnace-casting coupling characteristics require tool calling responses to match the push rhythm of real-time process parameters, to avoid process interruptions caused by delays. Multiple heterogeneous data sources require plugins to adapt to different system data format conversion and permission verification logic. Based on the update cycles of per-heat, real-time, and shift-level updates, plugins must support three calling modes: single heat data pulling, real-time process parameter subscription, and batch report export. Since quality defects can propagate to downstream rolling processes, tool calling must include a built-in data verification step to prevent incorrect parameters from entering subsequent workflows.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Workflow/API tool selectionauto or specified functionCallAdapts to scenarios where multiple plugins must be called during heat auditing, supports automatic tool matching or forced execution of preset quality verification plugins
Workflow trigger timingBound to after heat plan generation, after converter smelting endsMatches the business rhythm of triggering audits by process nodes in steel smelting, to avoid invalid calls
Plugin call timeout600–1200 secondsAdapts to the average duration of real-time data collection and test result return during the smelting process, to avoid timeout interruptions caused by high-temperature process time consumption
Context window size8000–12000 tokensCarries complete content of multiple documents including heat plans, smelting records, and composition reports, to avoid loss of key parameters
Number of data entries returned per callTop 20 entriesStreamlines plugin return content, matches the core focus indicators of auditing scenarios, to avoid data overload
Result cache duration1800 secondsAdapts to temporary storage requirements after report generation, to avoid resource occupation from repeated generation

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: After calling the quality audit plugin, the running data displayed in the conversation log is empty. Cause: The data source configuration for the corresponding heat is not bound, so the plugin cannot pull actual smelting process records.
  • Phenomenon: After a custom report export plugin runs, the returned download link address changes continuously, and the final result is generated with delay. Cause: No result cache logic is set for the plugin. The real-time generated report file path updates dynamically during the generation process, and the link is returned before writing is complete.
  • Phenomenon: When workflow A calls workflow B, workflow B cannot execute completely, only partial nodes run. Cause: Necessary trigger parameters are not configured in workflow B, or the heat ID passed by workflow A does not conform to the verification rules of workflow B.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Manually trigger a plugin call, and verify that the returned data fields include preset core business document content.
  • Check the tool call records in the conversation log to confirm that configuration items match actual call parameters.
  • Simulate passing a heat ID with an incorrect format, and verify that the plugin triggers the preset verification logic.
  • Test batch call scenarios to confirm that the plugin's return results conform to the business rhythm during shift-level summarized report generation.
