What Data for This Category Looks Like
This category’s data primarily comes from steel coil labels and quality certificates, press and feeder operation data, mold management systems, MES systems, coordinate measuring machine or fixture inspection data. Daily generated documents include stamping work instructions, material utilization rate sheets, mold inspection sheets, first and last piece records, dimensional inspection reports, and mold change records.
Data updates are triggered per coil of material, each production batch, and each mold change operation. Fields cover material grades, mold numbers, stamping process parameters, dimensional deviation values for inspection, and more. Units include millimeters, megapascals, and piece counts.
What Constraints These Characteristics Impose on Tool Calling and Plugin Workflows
This category’s data updates at high frequency and is triggered by production batches and mold changes. Tool calling must support real-time pulling of the latest production and inspection data for each batch. This prevents use of expired material parameters or mold statuses.
Multi-source heterogeneous data sources require plugins to support different formats of structured and semi-structured documents. This includes compatibility with mold management system APIs and CSV reports exported from coordinate measuring machines.
Stamping inspection involves multiple types of anomalies, such as dimensional deviations, cracking, and wrinkling. Tool calling must support cross-checking of associated multi-document fields. For example, combining mold change records and first and last piece inspection data to judge process stability.
In mass production scenarios, tool calling must control the volume of data processed per call. This avoids timeouts or resource overload.
Configuration Settings
This configuration is based on the interface and parameter rules of FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow/API tool selection | auto | Adapts to multiple scenario requirements for stamping inspection and process record audit, no need to manually specify called tools |
| Tool call timeout setting | 120–180 seconds | Stamping workshop data pulling involves multiple system interfaces. This range covers most cross-system data synchronization durations, and can be optimized after actual measurement |
| Plugin data source adaptation rules | Supports CSV, JSON formats and mold management system APIs | Covers commonly used formats for this category, including coordinate measuring machine reports and mold change record export formats, as well as workshop system interfaces |
| Multi-document association verification switch | Enabled | Can combine mold change records and first and last piece inspection data to verify process stability, meeting the audit requirements of this category |
| Single call data volume limit | 500–800 entries | Matches the single-batch data scale of mass production, avoiding overload during single calls |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- An AggregateError Code: ETIMEDOUT is returned during a call. The cause is failure to adapt to the synchronization delay of multiple system interfaces in the stamping workshop, and the set timeout duration is insufficient to cover cross-system data pulling.
- A deployed MCP fails to call stamping workshop system data normally. The cause is failure to configure MCP permissions and interface rules adapted to the data sources of this category, and failure to import corresponding field mappings for steel coil labels and mold change records.
- The
functionCallparameter is set to force a specified tool, which prevents automatic matching of multiple scenario requirements for stamping inspection and record audit. The cause is failure to adjust thetoolChoiceconfiguration based on the scenario, which restricts the automatic tool selection capability.
How to Verify a Successful Configuration
- Submit simulated mold change records and first and last piece inspection data, check whether the tool automatically pulls the corresponding batch’s material utilization rate sheet for verification.
- Trigger the deployed MCP plugin, submit steel coil label and mold inspection sheet data, check whether information from the corresponding systems can be pulled normally.
- Wait for the call to complete, confirm that no timeout errors such as ETIMEDOUT appear, and check whether the timeout setting matches the actual pulling duration.
- View plugin logs, confirm that CSV, JSON formats and workshop system API interfaces have been adapted.
