Codestral uses a separate endpoint and does not support tool use
Codestral uses a separate endpoint and does not support tool use: Route Codestral traffic to its own endpoint with its own key, and never send it tool definitions.
Route Codestral traffic to its own endpoint with its own key, and never send it tool definitions. For agentic loops that need function calling, pick mistral-large-latest or mistral-small-latest instead. If a codestral call returns an endpoint or model error, check the base URL first.
Context: A provider integration doc for Mistral records two model gotchas that surprise integrators. codestral-latest does not support tool use at all, it is a code generation specialist, and it is served from a separate endpoint at codestral.mistral.ai/v1 rather than the main api.mistral.ai/v1. Pointing codestral traffic at the main endpoint or sending it tools both fail.
