# Intentions - Connect HTTP API
The `/connect/intentions` endpoint provide tools for managing
[intentions](/docs/connect/intentions.html).
## Create Intention
This endpoint creates a new intention and returns its ID if it was created
successfully.
The name and destination pair must be unique. If another intention matches
the name and destination, the creation will fail. You must either update the
existing intention or delete it prior to creating a new one.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/connect/intentions` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `intentions:write`<sup>1</sup> |
<sup>1</sup> Intention ACL rules are specified as part of a `service` rule.
See [Intention Management Permissions](/docs/connect/intentions.html#intention-management-permissions) for more details.
### Parameters
- `SourceName` `(string: <required>)` - The source of the intention.
For a `SourceType` of `consul` this is the name of a Consul service. The
service doesn't need to be registered.
- `DestinationName` `(string: <required>)` - The destination of the intention.
The intention destination is always a Consul service, unlike the source.
The service doesn't need to be registered.
- `SourceType` `(string: <required>)` - The type for the `SourceName` value.
This can be only "consul" today to represent a Consul service.
- `Action` `(string: <required>)` - This is one of "allow" or "deny" for
the action that should be taken if this intention matches a request.
- `Description` `(string: nil)` - Description for the intention. This is not
used for anything by Consul, but is presented in API responses to assist
tooling.
- `Meta` `(map<string|string>: nil)` - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata pairs.
### Sample Payload

{
"SourceName": "web",
"DestinationName": "db",

## Check Intention Result
This endpoint evaluates the intentions for a specific source and destination
and returns whether the connection would be authorized or not given the
current Consul configuration and set of intentions.
This endpoint will work even if the destination service has
`intention = "deny"` specifically set, because the resulting API response
does not contain any information about the intention itself.
