Overview

Collect all necessary diagnostic information for Mistral AI support tickets. Creates a redacted bundle with environment info, SDK versions, API connectivity test, available models, and recent error logs.

Prerequisites

• Mistral AI SDK installed
• Access to application logs

• MISTRAL_API_KEY

  set (for connectivity test)

Step 2: TypeScript Debug Helper

import { Mistral } from '@mistralai/mistralai';

interface DebugInfo {
  timestamp: string;
  nodeVersion: string;
  apiKeySet: boolean;
  apiKeyLength: number;
  connectivity: 'ok' | 'auth_error' | 'network_error' | 'unknown_error';
  availableModels: string[];
  latencyMs: number;
  lastError?: { message: string; status?: number };
}

async function collectDebugInfo(error?: Error): Promise<DebugInfo> {
  const info: DebugInfo = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    nodeVersion: process.version,
    apiKeySet: !!process.env.MISTRAL_API_KEY,
    apiKeyLength: process.env.MISTRAL_API_KEY?.length ?? 0,
    connectivity: 'unknown_error',
    availableModels: [],
    latencyMs: 0,
  };

  if (error) {
    info.lastError = {
      message: error.message,
      status: (error as any).status,
    };
  }

  if (info.apiKeySet) {
    const start = performance.now();
    try {
      const client = new Mistral({ apiKey: process.env.MISTRAL_API_KEY });
      const models = await client.models.list();
      info.connectivity = 'ok';
      info.availableModels = models.data?.map(m => m.id) ?? [];
      info.latencyMs = Math.round(performance.now() - start);
    } catch (e: any) {
      info.latencyMs = Math.round(performance.now() - start);
      info.connectivity = e.status === 401 ? 'auth_error' : 'network_error';
    }
  }

  return info;
}

// Usage in catch blocks
try {
  await client.chat.complete({ model: 'mistral-small-latest', messages });
} catch (error) {
  const debug = await collectDebugInfo(error as Error);
  console.error('Debug info:', JSON.stringify(debug, null, 2));
}

Step 3: Request/Response Logger for Debugging

function createDebugClient(): Mistral {
  const client = new Mistral({ apiKey: process.env.MISTRAL_API_KEY });

  // Wrap chat.complete to log request/response metadata
  const originalComplete = client.chat.complete.bind(client.chat);
  client.chat.complete = async (params: any) => {
    const start = performance.now();
    console.debug('[MISTRAL REQUEST]', {
      model: params.model,
      messageCount: params.messages?.length,
      hasTools: !!params.tools?.length,
      temperature: params.temperature,
    });

    try {
      const response = await originalComplete(params);
      console.debug('[MISTRAL RESPONSE]', {
        durationMs: Math.round(performance.now() - start),
        finishReason: response.choices?.[0]?.finishReason,
        usage: response.usage,
        hasToolCalls: !!response.choices?.[0]?.message?.toolCalls?.length,
      });
      return response;
    } catch (error: any) {
      console.debug('[MISTRAL ERROR]', {
        durationMs: Math.round(performance.now() - start),
        status: error.status,
        message: error.message,
      });
      throw error;
    }
  };

  return client;
}

Sensitive Data Rules

ALWAYS REDACT: API keys, passwords, PII (emails, names), internal URLs SAFE TO INCLUDE: Error messages, stack traces, SDK versions, HTTP status codes, model IDs

Output

• mistral-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz

  containing:

  • summary.txt

    — environment, SDK versions, API status

  • logs.txt

    — recent redacted error logs

  • config-redacted.txt

    — config with secrets masked

  • reproduce.sh

    — minimal reproduction script

Error Handling

Item	Purpose
Environment versions	Compatibility check
SDK version	Version-specific bug identification
API connectivity test	Network/auth diagnosis
Available models	Key scope verification
Error logs (redacted)	Root cause analysis
