Create spreadsheets & documents with Mistral

Mistral models support function calling with the same tools schema you'd use with OpenAI. Define a create_spreadsheet tool, run the matching API request when the model calls it, and return the link. Works with the Mistral Python client.

tools = [{
  "type": "function",
  "function": {
    "name": "create_spreadsheet",
    "description": "Create a shareable spreadsheet and return its URL.",
    "parameters": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "title": {"type": "string"},
        "rows": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "array"}}
      },
      "required": ["title", "rows"]
    }
  }
}]

# When the model returns a tool_calls entry:
import requests
def create_spreadsheet(title, rows):
    r = requests.post("https://openofficeai.com/api/v1/sheets",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
        json={"title": title, "sheets": [{"rows": rows}]})
    return r.json()["url"]

2. 2Pass tools to client.chat.complete and check tool_calls in the response.
3. 3Run the matching function and POST to /api/v1/sheets.
4. 4Send the url back as a tool message for the next turn.
