Mistral AI opens Agents API for public use with task planning and tool integration

On May 27, 2025, Mistral AI released its Agents API, opening public access through La Plateforme so developers can build autonomous agents that plan tasks, call external tools, and maintain long-term context. The interface ships with connectors for Python execution, web search, Flux 1.1 image generation, and a document library, while streaming output and conversation memory keep agent workflows responsive. It currently supports the mistral-medium-latest and mistral-large-latest models and lets agents delegate subtasks to one another via the Model Context Protocol, turning a single prompt into a coordinated workflow across multiple services.

Early demos show practical use cases: a GitHub bot that drafts pull-requests, a Linear ticket assistant, a finance analyst, and a travel planner, illustrating how the toolkit plugs into existing enterprise pipelines. Engineers testing the sandbox report faster build cycles than custom agent stacks, and some observers frame the launch as a European alternative to similar offerings from larger U.S. providers.

Founded in 2023 by former Meta and DeepMind researchers, Paris-based Mistral has grown rapidly; revenue has tripled in the past 100 days, and investors now value the firm at roughly $6 billion. Alongside its small and large language models and the Le Chat enterprise assistant, the new Agents API unifies these assets for customers that prioritize data residency within the EU.
