What this category’s data looks like
The data for this category comes from design history files, component and material batches, MES systems, clean environment monitoring equipment, sterilization equipment, inspection and calibration systems. Daily documents include production process specifications, batch production records, clean zone records, sterilization batch records, inspection reports, software version records, adverse event and traceability materials. Data is updated once per batch or per piece of equipment, or according to the environment monitoring plan. Document fields include batch number, sterilization temperature, clean zone differential pressure, software version number, adverse event number, and others. There is no unified general format, and corresponding fields must be identified by document type.
Constraints imposed by these characteristics on tool calling and plugin workflows
Data sources for this category are scattered and formats are inconsistent. This requires tool calling plugins to support connecting to multiple types of data sources and identifying different document structures. Data update frequency changes with production batches or environment monitoring plans. This requires plugins to support incremental pulling and scheduled synchronization. Document fields are mostly strongly validated critical parameters. This requires strict validation of incoming parameter legitimacy during tool calling, to avoid subsequent production risks caused by missing fields or format errors. At the same time, the risk level associated with data is high. The results of tool calling must be traceable, to ensure that each call's parameters and return results match the records of the corresponding production batch.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow/API tool selection | Force set to functionCall | Adapt to the structured tool calling requirements of this category, ensure that parameters for equipment inspection and maintenance Q&A comply with controlled document validation logic |
| Workflow/API function-call configuration | Enable strict parameter validation mode | Match the calling requirements of strongly validated fields such as batch numbers and sterilization parameters in this category's documents, reduce the probability of non-compliant calls |
| Tool call timeout | 600 seconds | Adapt to the batch pulling rhythm of sterilization batch records and clean zone monitoring data, avoid call interruptions caused by large data volumes |
| Context window size | 8000–12000 token | Accommodate complete field information from multiple batch production records and sterilization batch records, ensure that tool calls can obtain sufficient reference data |
| Tool call retry count | 2 times | Address scenarios where clean environment monitoring data has temporary upload delays, reduce call failures caused by temporary network or data synchronization issues |
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- A Cannot read properties of undefined error occurs when calling
functionCall. The cause is that the mapping relationship between tool incoming parameters and category document fields is not correctly configured, leading to missing required fields such as batch numbers and sterilization parameters. - Tool call returns empty results. The cause is that incremental pulling is not configured according to the update rhythm of each batch or environment monitoring plan, leading to calls to outdated unupdated data that cannot match the current equipment batch information for inspection.
- Tool calls cannot be triggered. The cause is that
toolChoiceis not set to forcedfunctionCallmode, causing the proxy tool to fail to recognize structured calling instructions and only return unstructured Q&A results.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Initiate an equipment inspection question that includes sterilization temperature and equipment batch number. Check the FastGPT v4.17.0 tool call log to confirm whether parameter validation records for the corresponding fields are included.
- Simulate a scenario where clean zone monitoring data is delayed. Initiate a corresponding question to verify whether the tool completes the call within the 600-second timeout or triggers a retry.
- Check the application configuration to confirm whether
functionCallhas enabled strict validation mode, ensure that unstructured answers do not trigger the tool call process. - View the plugin management page to confirm that all tools connected to MES and sterilization equipment have correctly configured data source permissions and can normally pull production records for the corresponding batch.
