# `/sys/plugins/catalog`
The `/sys/plugins/catalog` endpoint is used to list, register, update, and
remove plugins in Vault's catalog. Plugins must be registered before use, and
once registered backends can use the plugin by querying the catalog.
## List Plugins
This endpoint lists the plugins in the catalog.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `LIST` | `/sys/plugins/catalog` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request LIST

### Sample Response
```javascript
{
"data": {
"keys": [
"cassandra-database-plugin",

]
}
}
```

URL.
- `sha256` `(string: <required>)`  This is the SHA256 sum of the plugin's
binary. Before a plugin is run it's SHA will be checked against this value, if
they do not match the plugin can not be run.
- `command` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the command used to execute the
plugin. This is relative to the plugin directory. e.g. `"myplugin"`.
- `args` `(array: [])` Specifies the arguments used to execute the plugin. If
the arguments are provided here, the `command` parameter should only contain
the named program. e.g. `"--my_flag=1"`.

execution of the plugin. Each entry is of the form "key=value". e.g
`"FOO=BAR"`.
