# `plugin` stanza
The `plugin` stanza configures plugin-specific parameters. The plugin system is currently internal; over time, the intent is to provide a mechanism for third-party plugins to be able to be used.
Available plugins are currently bundled with Boundary and executed automatically.
There is currently one configuration parameter available:
```hcl
plugins {
execution_dir = "/var/run/boundary/plugin-exec"
}
```
- `execution_dir` - Specifies a directory that Boundary can use to write and
execute its built-in plugins. This value can be a direct directory string,
can refer to a file on disk (file://) from which a directory location will be
read; or an env var (env://) from which the directory location will be read.
This directory must be writeable by the Boundary user. If not set, Boundary will
attempt to create a suitable directory in the system temporary folder.
