Drafting of Heat Treatment Process Documents and Exception Reports: Tool Calling and Plugins

Data for heat treatment scenarios comes from material grade archives, customer technical specification documents, temperature control instruments

What data looks like for this category

Data for heat treatment scenarios comes from material grade archives, customer technical specification documents, temperature control instruments, furnace temperature uniformity test reports, export results from hardness testers and metallographic equipment, and workshop MES systems. Data update frequency is per heat load and per batch. Daily generated documents include heat treatment process cards, charging diagrams, furnace temperature curves, hardness and metallographic reports, equipment inspection forms, and exception handling sheets. Data fields include furnace temperature (unit: ℃), holding duration (unit: minutes or hours), hardness values (unit: HV or HRC), metallographic structure ratings, and other related fields. No additional fictional statistical figures are included.

Heat treatment scenario data has scattered sources, covering direct device-connected data, archived system documents, and manually filled records. Tool calling must support format adaptation for multi-source data. Data updates occur frequently, with new process and inspection data generated for each heat load. Tool calling must support real-time triggering and dynamic parameter adaptation. Documents in the scenario include structured tables and unstructured charts. Tool calling must support data extraction and filling across different formats. Exception analysis must strictly match process parameters and inspection results. Tool calling result verification logic must cover field integrity and compliance requirements.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Workflow/API tool selectionautoAdapt to dynamic tool calling needs such as process verification and exception analysis in heat treatment scenarios
Workflow/API function-call configurationTrigger according to preset tool parameter formatMust strictly match field requirements of tools including heat treatment process cards and furnace temperature curves
Tool call timeout period300–600 secondsLonger waiting cycles are required for heat treatment furnace temperature data collection and metallographic analysis result acquisition
Database connection pool size8–12 connectionsAdapt to concurrent data query and document generation needs for multiple heat loads
Tool result verification rulesMatch required fields of heat treatment documentsEnsure core information such as charging position and furnace temperature parameters is not missing
MCP bound data source scopeOnly open workshop-exclusive heat treatment databasesAvoid interference from irrelevant data on tool calling accuracy

Three common mistakes

  • Adding a MySQL database tool call returns a 400 status code (no body). The cause is failure to match and verify tool parameters with fields such as material grade and furnace temperature parameters in heat treatment process cards.
  • Custom code calls return AggregateError Code: ETIMEDOUT. The cause is that the tool call timeout threshold is set shorter than the actual time required for furnace temperature curve collection and hardness data reading.
  • Deploying MCP without binding exclusive heat treatment data source permissions results in failure to read furnace temperature uniformity test data and process data from the MES system.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • Initiate a simulated single heat load process query, check whether tool calling can automatically pull furnace temperature curve data corresponding to the heat number.
  • Submit an exception report drafting request, verify whether the tool can automatically fill in inspection result fields exported from hardness testers and metallographic equipment.
  • View the tool calling logs of FastGPT v4.17.0, confirm that database connections have no timeouts and parameter formats comply with preset specifications.
  • Test concurrent calls for multiple heat loads, check whether concurrent processing of tool calls matches the configured connection pool size.
