Actions¶

Actions are a particular instruction associated with a task that will be performed when the task runs. For instance: running a shell script, making an HTTP request, or sending a signal to an external system. Actions can be synchronous or asynchronous.

With synchronous actions, Mistral will send a signal to the Mistral Executor and wait for a result. Once the Executor completes the action, the result will be sent to the Mistral Engine.

With asynchronous actions, Mistral will send a signal to a third party service and wait for a corresponding action result to be delivered back via the Mistral API. Once the signal has been sent, Mistral isn’t responsible for the state and result of the action. The third-party service should send a request to the Mistral API and provide information corresponding to the action execution and its state and result.
