25−One further note on `care`s (which can sometimes be confusing): Strictly speaking `care`s specify submodules in the Clay vane. They're used both in Clay scries as well as Clay's `task`s and `gift`s. For example, a `%x` `care` reads the data of a file, a `%p` `care` reads file permissions, and so forth. To see all of Clay's `care`s and what they do, you can refer to Clay's [Scry Reference](/docs/arvo/clay/scry).
25+One further note on `care`s (which can sometimes be confusing): While `care`s are part of the global namespace, they're most extensively used by Clay in particular. In Clay, `care`s specify Clay submodules with specific behaviour, and are used both in scries as well as `task`s and `gift`s. For example, a `%x` `care` reads the data of a file, a `%p` `care` reads file permissions, and so forth.

27−Some other vanes also make use of `care`s in their scry endpoints. While such vanes don't have corresponding submodules with strictly defined behaviour like Clay, the `care`s still confer the general nature of the endpoint. The most widely used `care` is `%x`, which implies reading data in a general sense. Gall has special handling of `%x` scries as described in the [Gall agents](#gall-agents) section below, but otherwise `care`s have no special behaviour for non-Clay vanes (though they must still be included if the endpoint specifies it).
