What Data for This Category Looks Like

Data for this category typically comes from orders and size charts, CAD patterns, fabric and accessory inspection records, hanging system data, needle detector test results, and customer sealed samples. Daily generated documents include work orders, patterns, layout plans, cutting lists, first article sealed samples, process quality sheets, packaging and size matching sheets, and others. Data update frequency is per order, per style, per batch. Due to the large number of styles and strong seasonality, single-style cut pieces are irreversible and manual processes are intensive. Data fields often include size parameters, fabric batch numbers, process nodes, packaging ratios, and other specific content.

Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins From These Characteristics

Since single-style cut pieces are irreversible and data updates per order batch, tool calling must bind the exclusive dataset for a specific order to avoid cross-order data confusion. The large number of styles and strong seasonality require frequent switching of associated data sources, so plugins must support fast switching of bound CAD patterns, layout plans, and other documents. Intensive manual processes mean exception reports must accurately match process node data, and tool calling must accurately extract defect records from process quality sheets. The field specificity of fabric batch numbers and size parameters requires plugins to identify and filter field information not belonging to the current order when called.

How to Configure Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Workflow/API tool selectionauto or specify a specific tool nameMatch the document parsing plugin bound to the current order automatically based on the specific scenario of drafting process documents, to prevent the model from selecting unrelated tools by mistake
Workflow/API function-call configurationenabledForce the model to call pre-configured plugins, to avoid directly generating process content that deviates from actual cut piece data
Plugin data source bindingBind the CAD pattern, layout plan, and process quality sheet dataset corresponding to the current order IDSince cut pieces are irreversible and data updates per order batch, restrict plugins to only call exclusive data from the current batch
Context window size8000–12000 tokenAccommodate the full content of multiple documents such as work orders and packaging size matching sheets, to avoid truncating critical size and fabric batch parameters
Tool call timeout threshold300–600 secondsWait for backend processes such as CAD pattern parsing and hanging system data synchronization to complete, reserve sufficient processing time
Number of matching results returnedTop 3 entriesDrafting process documents only requires core process requirements, size ratios, and other data; excessive results will interfere with the model's generation of accurate content

Three Common Mistakes

  • Symptom: The model does not trigger the bound plugin during tool calling, and directly generates general process content. Cause: toolChoice is not correctly configured for mandatory calling mode, or the exclusive dataset for the current order is not bound, causing the model to fail to match the corresponding tool.
  • Symptom: The generated exception report includes fabric batch or size data from non-current orders. Cause: The plugin does not filter data sources by order ID, and calls historical data across orders, resulting in content that does not match the current batch.
  • Symptom: Tool calling times out, returning empty results or error messages. Cause: The set timeout threshold is lower than the actual time required for backend data synchronization and CAD pattern parsing, and sufficient processing time is not reserved.

How to Confirm Configuration Is Correct

  • Submit a process document drafting request for a single order, check the backend tool call logs to confirm that the bound corresponding document parsing plugin was successfully triggered.
  • Review the generated work order content to confirm that fields such as size and fabric batch match the current order's dataset exactly.
  • Simulate a process exception scenario to trigger exception report generation, confirm that the plugin can extract corresponding defect records from the process quality sheet and integrate them into the report.
  • Verify the tool call timeout setting by simulating delayed data synchronization steps, confirm that no timeout error occurs.
