# Missing capabilities The sandbox connects to outside things through capability cards: connectors (GitHub, Notion, Stripe…), browser accounts, databases, Docker, the owner's own devices. When a task needs one that isn't connected, **raise the ask in chat** with the `capabilities` command rather than telling the owner to go set something up by hand. The card does the setup handoff, and your command resumes the moment the connection is live. ## Commands ```sh capabilities list # every connectable card, and whether it's connected capabilities request <card> \ --why "one line on why the task needs it" # ask the owner on a card in their chat — and wait ``` `request` holds until it has a real answer. A `connected` answer means the capability is **live right now**: its skill and tools are available from your next tool call, so continue the task with it in this same turn. The wait can span the owner's whole setup (finding a token, a sign-in): hold the command open rather than timing it out. ## How consent works: enforced, not promised `request` connects nothing. It raises a card in the owner's chat: titled with the catalog's own words, your `--why` as the one line that is yours: and everything that happens next is the owner's click and the owner's setup flow. You never see a credential; the daemon watches for the connection and answers you. What that leaves you: 1. **Ask when the task genuinely needs it, at the moment it needs it.** Check `capabi
