# Consul Intention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul intention`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `intention` command is used to interact with Connect
|
|
|
|
|
[intentions](/docs/connect/intentions.html). It exposes commands for
|
|
|
|
|
creating, updating, reading, deleting, checking, and managing intentions.
|
|
|
|
|
This command is available in Consul 1.2 and later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intentions may also be managed via the [HTTP API](/api/connect/intentions.html).
