Mistral AI Debug Bundle

Current State

!node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A' !python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'

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

Examples

Build a safe incident attachment

After a production request fails, run collectDebugInfo, redact every environment value that is not on the safe list, and write the result plus the minimal reproduction command into the timestamped debug bundle. Attach the bundle to the incident only after confirming it contains no API key, internal URL, or customer identifier.
