# Consul Intention Check
Command: `consul intention check`
The `intention check` command checks whether a connection attempt between
two services would be authorized given the current set of intentions and
Consul configuration.
This command requires less ACL permissions than other intention-related
tasks because no information about the intention is revealed. Therefore,
callers only need to have `service:read` access for the destination. Richer
commands like [match](/docs/commands/intention/match) require full
intention read permissions and don't evaluate the result.
## Usage
Usage: `consul intention check [options] SRC DST`
`SRC` and `DST` can both take [several forms](/docs/commands/intention#source-and-destination-naming).
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
#### Enterprise Options
@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
## Examples
```shell-session
$ consul intention check web db
Denied
$ consul intention check web billing
Allowed
```
