<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When using the Mistral provider with Canvas AI, requests fail with "422 Unprocessable Entity" while the same request works correctly with the OpenAI provider.</p>
<p>The error originates from the php-mistral client. The failure appears to be caused by a tool definition that does not include parameters, which Mistral seems to reject, while other providers accept it. In my case such tool was "ai_agent_verify_task_completion".</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>1. Enable canvas_ai.<br>
2. Enable all Canvas AI components so they are available to the agent.<br>
4. In the Canvas editor/agent UI, run a prompt that triggers a tool call, e.g.: "calling the page builder tool first, add a card component with title hello world to the content area"</p>
<p>The response we get is the following, which suggests the problem outlined in this ticket.</p>
