What the data for this category looks like
This category's data originates from full production chain systems of enterprises operating in coatings, resins, additives, agrochemical intermediates, and specialty chemicals. Daily documents include batch production instructions, feeding verification slips, reaction process records, cleaning records, inspection reports, and deviation and change notices. Data sources cover formula and process libraries, raw material batch ledgers, reactor DCS systems, weighing systems, LIMS laboratory management systems, and warehouse systems. Updates are triggered per production batch or each key process step. A single data entry includes a unique batch identifier, raw material specification parameters, process parameter values, operator identifier, and timestamp, with fields linked to full production flow nodes.
What constraints this category's characteristics impose on tool calling and plugins
The multi-variety, batch-switching production characteristics of this category require tool calling to support pulling real-time production data across multiple heterogeneous systems, to avoid quotation deviations caused by reliance on static caching. The update rhythm of data per batch and key step requires plugin triggers to be bound to production batch identifiers, ensuring that pulled raw material prices and process parameters match the current tender project. Compliance requirements for formula confidentiality, cleaning records, and deviation records restrict plugins to only calling desensitized process and quality data, and require verification of operating permissions. Linked data for multi-step processes requires tool calling to integrate fields in the order of process nodes, to avoid quotation errors caused by data misalignment. This document is compatible with FastGPT v4.17.0.
How to configure the settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
toolChoice capability flag | Set to true or false to match selected model/API documentation | Declares model support for tool choice; the workflow/integration defines which plugin is called |
functionCall capability flag | Set to true or false to match selected model/API documentation | Declares function-calling support; pass production batch identifiers as business inputs to the configured tool/workflow |
| Tool call timeout | 300–600 seconds | Cover response delays for data pulls across heterogeneous systems, adapt to long-cycle data acquisition for batchwise synthesis processes |
| Bulk data pull limit | First 20 entries | Limit the amount of data returned per call to avoid exceeding the context window, matching the limited data scope of a single batch |
| Plugin data desensitization switch | Enabled | Meet formula confidentiality and compliance record requirements, only returning desensitized process and quality fields |
Three common errors
- When calling a tool, the response returns "Enterprise has no patent information record", but calling the MCP tool directly returns normal results. The cause is that the tool calling component did not correctly pass the enterprise identifier parameter corresponding to the tender project, resulting in a query scope that does not match expectations.
- A MongoDB integration returns a
MongoServerError. The error type alone does not establish the cause; inspect the full message and stack, the plugin's query and escaping, the MongoDB image/version, and account permissions, then reproduce with a minimal query. - An "Upload file failed" message is displayed when using the Markdown conversion file plugin. The cause is that the plugin is not configured with access permissions for the corresponding storage path, or the generated Markdown file size exceeds the single-file limit allowed by the plugin.
How to confirm the configuration is correct
- Manually trigger a tool call, and verify that the returned raw material data matches the production batch ledger bound to the current tender project.
- Review the full error log and reproduce with a minimal query. Check the plugin-generated MongoDB query/escaping, server image/version, and account permissions before retesting the connection.
- Upload a test Markdown file to the plugin, confirm that there are no interface errors during the upload process, and that the generated file can be accessed normally.
- When calling the MCP tool, bind the same enterprise identifier parameter as the tool calling component, and verify that the returned results match expectations.
