[ also hey @mcu is anyone gonna tell shield about infinity war ]
No, but he certainly made a dent in our organisation and the wider world along the way.
[ A lot of Fitz's colleagues worked on Project PEGASUS, the programme Loki tore his way through to get to the Tesseract. And it was Loki's intervention that prompted the Avengers protocol — that forced SHIELD's hand. Without him, would superheroes have entered the public eye within the decade? ]
We call it the Tesseract, also known as the Cube. We know now that various ancient civilizations passed it around before it came into Asgardian hands and was kept in Odin's vault. At one point, it ended up on Earth and was taken by HYDRA, and then again retrieved by SHIELD in 1945. Stayed in our custody until Loki came for it.
[ context, just in case Loki knows the artifact by another name. ]
From my understanding of the footage of the events following and subsequent Sci-Tech debrief, I'd describe its abilities as being able to alter spacetime, opening wormhole-like portals.
[ not unlike Fitz's present ability, actually. Huh. ]
