I can tell you that

I know the literal meaning of "I can tell you that" but I feel it doesn't always be used to mean I'm capable or have the ability to tell the information. What's its idiomatic meaning really?

Thanks.

I can give you this much information, but no more [either because I don't know any more or because I'm not allowed to divulge].
