This document is written based on the tool calling and plugin functions of FastGPT v4.17.0.
What the data for this category looks like
Data for this category typically comes from customer-provided product models, mold flow or forming simulation results, CAD/CAM source files, machining and dimensional measurement records, and inspection data from trial mold samples. Daily produced documents include mold design task sheets, DFM reports, part machining drawings, process cards, trial mold reports, mold modification notices, and mold history logs.
Data updates proceed per individual project. Corresponding documents and records are synchronized for update after each trial mold or mold modification. Fields include mold number, defect type, mold modification times, machining tolerances, and more. No unified fixed unit system is used; adjustments are made per project requirements.
Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Tool Calling and Plugin Workflows
Mold design and manufacturing data is bound to individual projects and updated frequently. Tool calling must accurately match the document scope of the current project to avoid cross-project data interference.
Multi-source and heterogeneous data formats require plugins to support parsing different file types such as CAD files, simulation reports, and measurement tables. General text parsing alone is insufficient.
High-frequency updates of trial molds and mold modifications require the tool calling context synchronization mechanism to support real-time pulling of the latest versions of mold history and trial mold data. This avoids using outdated information for defect analysis.
Additionally, the data volume of individual projects fluctuates greatly. Tool calling resource allocation must adapt to project documents of different sizes.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow/API tool selection | auto | Adapts to tool calling needs for multi-type defect analysis in mold projects, automatically matches corresponding plugins |
| Tool calling timeout | 120–180 seconds | Mold data includes CAD files, simulation reports, and similar content that takes longer to parse. Sufficient processing time must be reserved |
| Knowledge base recall limit | Top 8 entries | The number of associated documents for a single mold project is concentrated. Too many recalls increase analysis delay, while too few miss critical data |
| Workflow/API function-call configuration | Enabled | Structured output of defect analysis results and mold modification suggestions is required to support integration with the mold history update process |
| Context window length | 4000–6000 tokens | Carries complete trial mold reports, mold modification records, and part drawing information to avoid truncation of critical content |
| Plugin permission scope | Current project documents | Prevents cross-project data leakage, meeting confidentiality and data isolation requirements for mold projects |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: Tool calling returns empty results or missing fields. Cause: The plugin permission scope is not limited, preventing access to mold history and trial mold report data for the current project.
- Phenomenon: Tool calling response time is significantly longer than direct model API calls. Cause: The knowledge base recall scope is not limited, leading the system to retrieve large volumes of non-current project mold data and increasing processing delay.
- Phenomenon: After enabling
functionCall, structured output fields do not match the requirements of mold documents. Cause: The plugin output template is not adjusted for exclusive fields of mold projects, such as DFM reports and trial mold defect types.
How to Verify Successful Configuration
- Submit a query containing specific trial mold defect descriptions, and check whether the tool calling automatically matches the corresponding defect analysis plugin.
- Review tool calling return results to confirm inclusion of exclusive current project fields such as mold number, defect type, and mold modification suggestions.
- Simulate a mold modification operation, then check whether the tool calling can pull updated mold history data.
- Verify that when
toolChoiceis set toauto, the system automatically selects the appropriate tool based on query content.
