command line - databricks configure using cmd and R

Question

I am trying to use databricks cli and invoke the databricks configure That's how I do it from cmd

  somepath>databricks configure --token
  Databricks Host (should begin with https://): my_https_address 
  Token: my_token

I want to invoke the same command using R. So I did:

  tool.control <- c('databricks configure --token'
                    ,'my_https_address'
                    ,'my_token')

 shell(tool.control)

I get the following error

  Error in system(command, as.integer(flag), f, stdout, stderr, timeout) : 
  character string expected as first argument

How can I correct it?

EDIT: After trying the suggestion in the comment, I get this error:

Databricks Host (should begin with https://): Aborted!
'https:' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.
 'my_token' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
