What Data for This Category Looks Like
Business data sources for welding structural component manufacturing include design drawings, material quality certificates, welding equipment parameters, filler metal inventories, non-destructive testing systems, and personnel qualification ledgers. Daily documents cover welding procedure qualifications, welding process specifications, filler metal issue records, welder qualification records, weld inspection reports, and repair work orders. Data is updated per weld, per batch of materials, or per shift. Document fields include base material grade, filler metal model, welder certification number, weld flaw detection results, repair times, and more. Units include millimeters, hours, batch numbers, and others.
Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Tool Calling and Plugins
Welding structural component manufacturing data has a high update frequency. Tool calling must pull the latest filler metal inventory and welder qualification ledger data in real time. There are many types of daily documents, so plugins must adapt to parsing different formats such as welding procedure qualifications and weld inspection reports. Each weld corresponds to an independent business node. Tool calling must trigger verification per weld. Additionally, this category has rigid requirements for qualifications and processes. Tool calling must accurately match base materials, filler metals, and welder qualifications to avoid quality issues caused by data deviations.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow/API tool selection | Auto | Adapt to the welding structural component process Q&A scenario, allowing the model to independently select tools to complete process-related tasks such as welder qualification verification and filler metal data queries |
| Single search limit | Top 6 entries | Cover the core data requirements for a single weld, including base material, filler metal, and welder qualification information |
| Plugin data source binding | Bind to filler metal inventories, welder qualification ledgers, and non-destructive testing systems | Match the exclusive data sources of welding structural component manufacturing to ensure data accuracy |
| Maximum context | 7000–9000 characters | Carry the complete content of a single batch of welding process specifications to meet the context requirements of process Q&A |
| Workflow/API function-call configuration | Enabled | Force the model to output tool call requests in a standardized format to facilitate standardized processing of business verification |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Scenario: After enabling the tool calling function, the model's output does not include a thought process. Cause:
toolChoiceis configured for forced tool calling mode, and the switch for thought process output is not configured. - Scenario: When connecting a database connection plugin, only three database types are supported, and Oracle database cannot be connected. Cause: The plugin only has general database adaptation rules configured, and no Oracle database driver or connection parameters have been added.
- Scenario: When calling the chat interface, the referenced knowledge base ID is not returned. Cause: The configuration for returning knowledge base reference information is not enabled, so the specific source of the referenced welding process document cannot be tracked.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Submit a process Q&A request that includes welder qualification verification, and check whether there is a tool call request in compliance with the
functionCallformat in the tool call log. - Go to the plugin configuration page of FastGPT v4.17.0, and confirm that exclusive data sources for welding structural component manufacturing such as filler metal inventories, welder qualification ledgers, and non-destructive testing systems have been bound.
- Call the chat interface, and check whether the returned results include relevant information about knowledge base references.
- Test the access configuration of the local MCP service, and confirm that the service can normally pull real-time business data for welding structural component manufacturing.
