mistral.ai — The most powerful AI platform for enterprises. Customize, fine-tune, and deploy AI assistants, autonomous agents, and multimodal AI with open models.
Verdict: An agent can discover on its own. Activate is only partly probed. Operate and manage aren't probed yet.

Capability parity
Each stage answers one question about what an agent can do unattended. Stages are ordered by the credential-gateway dependency: Activate issues the keys that unlock Operate and Manage. A row marked “Not yet probed” means no probe has tried that capability yet — a different ledger from the “unassessed” properties under Findings, where no probe tier capable of catching that interrupt has run.

Operate
Can an agent do the service's actual jobs — call, transact, pay?
No probe has attempted this stage yet: Call the primary service over MCP / API; Pay via an agent rail (x402 / ACP / AP2).
- Call the primary service over MCP / APINot yet probed
No machine interface found by passive checks, and no live Tier-2 call attempted.
- Complete a transaction / checkoutNot applicable
Integrated tool — the API call is the transaction, no separate checkout.
- Pay via an agent rail (x402 / ACP / AP2)Not yet probed
No agent-payment metadata detected - payment rails not yet probed.
Manage
Can an agent administer the account and provision resources?
No probe has attempted this stage yet: Provision / scale / tear down a service; Change account details / set budget / rotate keys; View usage & billing; Cancel / export / delete (offboard).
- Provision / scale / tear down a serviceNot yet probed
Not probed - provisioning is not part of the probe suite yet.
- Change account details / set budget / rotate keysNot yet probed
Not probed - account admin is not part of the probe suite yet.
- View usage & billingNot yet probed
Authenticated usage and billing access was not confirmed.
- Cancel / export / delete (offboard)Not yet probed
No self-serve cancellation, export, or deletion path was confirmed.
Findings
How scoring works →Interrupt tier: Low-Interrupt — no interrupts found; interrupt score 81 / 100 — the badge-driving metric. (range 50–100 · 8 unassessed)
Every tool starts at 100. Each interrupt found subtracts a penalty of base weight × timing × hardness × evidence — the multiplier values below come from the same rubric tables the score is computed with. New snapshots also provisionally subtract 50% of the full worst-case tax for each unassessed property and 25% for evidence-graded successes not live-verified by Tier 2.
Property coverage
A check only counts as clean when a probe tier capable of detecting that interrupt actually ran and found nothing. Not tested ≠ clean.
| Property | Stage | State | Evidence | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mandatory phone verification call | activate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| Mailed physical code (postal) | activate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| “Contact sales” wall (no self-serve path) | activate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| Manual approval queue | activate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| Rate-limit-triggered manual review | manage | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| One-time account / payment-method provisioning | manage | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| Identity / KYC verification | activate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| Crypto wallet / key-custody setup | operate | unassessed | No probe tier that can detect this has run yet — unknown, not clean. Tier 2 assesses this property. | no |
| CAPTCHA / bot-challenge | activate | success | None found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan) + Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 0 assesses this property. | no |
| Email OTP verification | activate | success | None found — checked at Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 1 assesses this property. | no |
| SMS / phone OTP verification | activate | success | None found — checked at Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 1 assesses this property. | no |
| ToS clause banning automated/bot access | discover | success | None found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 0 assesses this property. | no |
| Mandatory redirect to vendor’s own site | operate | success | None found — checked at Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 1 assesses this property. | no |
| SSO-only signup, no API-key issuance | activate | success | None found — checked at Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 1 assesses this property. | no |
| No Machine Interface | operate | success | None found — checked at Tier 1 (unauth probe) (evidence-graded; not yet live-verified by a Tier 2 probe) Tier 1 assesses this property. | yes |
No interrupts found — no evidence penalties. Unassessed properties still contribute a provisional tax.
How we scored this
- Confidence: Provisional (0.55) — Based on Tier 0/1 evidence only (passive checks, no live transaction attempt) — treat the number as a triage signal, not a verified outcome.
- Machine-Readability sub-score: 52 / 100 (a separate integration-ease signal — it never enters the Interrupt Score or badge).
- Some capability stages are not yet probed — shown plainly in the spine above, never as a pass.
- Rubric, tiers, confidence model, and badge thresholds →
Machine-readability checks 52 / 100
Four check groups, equal weight: machine interfaces, browsing efficiency, element discoverability, and discovery/agent access. Each check carries an evidence grade (proven / plausible / emerging) — an honesty label that never weights the score. What these mean →
