Are there any "tools" that I could use to help identify mistakes in my family tree?

    .

    "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', itself, has mechanisms to identify possible errors/mistakes/anomalies.

    .

    The errors/mistakes that "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' identifies will appear on the 'right-hand-side' of an individual's/person's "Person/Details" page/screen, under the TOP Section, being "Research Help".

    .

    "Research Help" identifies many different sorts of possible errors/mistakes/anomalies.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    NO "System" is, Perfect; or, 'foolproof' ...

    .

    SOME possible errors/mistakes/anomalies WILL be missed by the "System" ...

    [ But, that said, the "System" is pretty good; but, certainly, NOT perfect ... ]

    .

    Sometimes one must just look diligently through one's "Ancestral" lines; and, assess things for themselves.

    .

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch'

    .

    I hope this helps.
