Whoever made those embedded videos, here some feedback if you want it take it, it's free:

1) It's really hard to follow some of the videos since you're just copy pasting the prompts fr your agents into the chat because the output generation comes out and hides the prompts. Instead put the prompt text as an overlay/subtitle-like so we know what you're doing

2) The clicking sound of you copy pasting and typing is not ASMR, please just mute it next time

3) Please zoom into the text more, not everyone has 20/20 super vision 4K style

4) Use a clean browser profile so you don't show unrelated autocomplete

Ok I’m behind the times in terms of MCP implementation, so would appreciate a check: the appeal of this feature is that you can pass off the “when to call which MCP endpoint and with what” logic to Mistral, rather than implementing it yourself? If so I’m not sure I completely understand why I’d want a model-specific, remote solution for this rather than a single local library, since theoretically this logic should be the same for any given LLM/MCP toolset pairing. Just simpler?

It certainly looks easy to implement, I will say that! Docs halfway down the page: https://docs.mistral.ai/agents/mcp/

To add to 3): YouTube embedded videos default to 360p for me even if I maximize the embedded video on my 4k screen, which is completely unreadable. This is probably an attempt by YouTube to get viewers to click through to the YouTube website. It is probably not in Mistral's best interest to funnel viewers to YouTube, so they should use a different video host.

But even at maximum 1080p resolution, the image quality is not that great. And while we are at it, the wine-red (#833048) on dark-brown (#23231F) syntax highlighting for keyword arguments has very poor contrast ratio of around 1.8 to 1: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ which earns a rating of "Fail" across the categories normal text, large text and UI elements.

Is this basically a LLM that has tools automatically configured so I don’t have to handle that myself? Or am I not understanding it correctly? As in do I just make standard requests , but the LLM does more work than normal before sending me a response? Or I get the response to every step?
