Mistral introduced Agentic Search through its Search Toolkit and Libraries. The approach lets a model search, open, navigate, and read across complex documents, building on existing indexes rather than stopping at the first retrieved excerpt.

Context

Retrieval quality depends on finding the right context, including nearby qualifications or a related table. An iterative search process can help, but its result should still point back to evidence. The useful measure is whether the final answer is supported and complete, not merely whether the agent performed more searches.
