# Commands

`ferris-ctl` exposes seven top-level commands. Every one of them accepts the [global flags](/en/cli/overview#global-flags), and every one resolves where to connect, who you are, and which realm to act on before it sends anything — see [Authentication](/en/cli/authentication).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the connection-resolution statement to remote commands.

context and logout are documented below as local operations. context stores profiles, and logout deletes the credentials file. They do not resolve a server, identity, and realm before sending a request. Rewrite this sentence so it applies only to commands that contact the FerrisKey API.

In `@apps/docs/src/content/docs/cli/default/en/commands/index.mdx` at line 11,
Update the introductory statement in the command overview so the connection,
identity, and realm resolution requirement applies only to commands that contact
the FerrisKey API, while preserving the separate local-operation behavior of
context and logout.
