# `/sys/capabilities`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/capabilities` endpoint is used to fetch the capabilities of a token
|
||
on the given paths. The capabilities returned will be derived from the policies
|
||
that are on the token, and from the policies to which the token is entitled to
|
||
through the entity and entity's group memberships.
|
||
|
||
## Query Token Capabilities
|
||
|
||
This endpoint returns the list of capabilities of a given token on the given
|
||
paths. Multiple paths are taken in at once and the capabilities of the token
|
||
for each path is returned. For backwards compatibility, if a single path is
|
||
supplied, a `capabilities` field will also be returned.
