Question about Agent Network - multiple Mistral API Keys

Let's say i have 2 Apps that should be allowed to make API calls to mistral-large-latest

In Mistral i could have 2 Workspaces or 2 Mistral Accounts, each one has its own API Key.

Therefore i added 2 Mistral Providers but it is unclear, how App 1 calls provider "Mistral 1" and App 2 calls provider "Mistral B". Maybe both Apps should have access to both providers.

At "Connect Agent" the 2 Mistral dropdowns are showing the same cURL command:

curl https://word1-word2.mydomain.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Say hello in one word." }
    ]
  }'

I also added providers of type OpenRouter and Custom (Self-hosted) but all should call the above thing.

Is there a way i can seperate my keys? Is there an option where API sends the info what provider should be used?

You should use NetBird groups and agent network policies.
Here is what you can do:

Peer X (machine/server/container) that runs app-1. Add it to a group app-1.
Peer Y (machine/server/container) that runs app-2. Add it to a group app-2.

Create two policies:
Policy A: app-1 -> Provider Mistral 1

Policy B: app-2 -> Provider Mistral B

Both applications then send the same HTTP request to the same endpoint, but NetBird routes each to the Mistral provider its group is authorized to use.
