Bamboo build agents optionally posses possess attributes called capabilities which describe the functions they are able to perform. An agent which is resident on a host which also provides a database interface might poses a database capability, for example. You can then optionally configure each of your build pipeline's steps to only run using build agents which present the capabilities necessary to execute that step.
MettleCI extends the default capabilities of Bamboo with the MettleCI - DataStage Capability Plugin which installs a DataStageg DataStage capability. This allows you to identify which of your Bamboo build agents are installed co-resident with a MettleCI Command Line Interface, necessary to execute MettleCI-specific build pipeline steps.
