vllm.parser.mistral

Classes:

  • MistralParser –

    Mistral parser: engine-based reasoning + [TOOL_CALLS] tool calls.

  • MistralToolCall –

    ToolCall with a Mistral-compatible random alphanumeric id.

  • StreamingState –

    Streaming parsing state for pre-v11 tool call extraction.

Functions:

  • mistral_config –

    Return a :class:ParserEngineConfig for the Mistral output format.

MistralParser

Bases: ParserEngine

Mistral parser: engine-based reasoning + [TOOL_CALLS] tool calls.

Reasoning encoding is auto-detected from the tokenizer:

  • "special_token" – [THINK] present in vocab (v13+).
  • "text" – tokenizer supports grammar but has no [THINK] (v11).
  • "none" – no grammar support; reasoning disabled.

Tool calls use the [TOOL_CALLS]func_name{...} format. The opening { doubles as the NAME→ARGS separator and is included in the argument buffer via an ARG_VALUE_CHUNK event on the transition (mirrors kimi_k2, JSON args, tool_args_json=True).

When the tokenizer does not support grammar (_reasoning_encoding == "none"), the legacy [TOOL_CALLS]-based extraction path is used instead of the declarative engine, handling both pre-v11 JSON-array and v11+ funcname{args} formats.
