This document mostly covers local scries. Remote scries have recently been introduced, and are documented in a [separate guide](/guides/additional/remote-scry).

## What is a scry?

|

|
||||
Gall agents can expose scry endpoints with any `care`, but most commonly they'll take a `%x` `care`. Gall handles `%x` scries specially - it expects an extra field at the end of the `path` that specifies a `mark`. Gall will attempt to perform a `mark` conversion from the `mark` returned by the scry endpoint to the `mark` specified. Note the trailing `mark` in the `path` will not be passed through to the agent itself.

|

**Note:** you should not perform agent scries from within the
|
||||
`++on-load` arm of your agent. All Gall agents are suspended during
|
||||
kernel upgrade, and then reloaded one-by-one. If the agent you scry
|
||||
wasn't reloaded before yours, the scry will fail.

## What is an endpoint?
|
||||
|
||||
"Endpoint" refers to a specific scry path in a vane or agent. They will sometimes informally be noted in documentation or source comments like `/x/foo/bar/baz` or maybe just `/foo/bar/baz`. The first part of the former example is the `care`, then the rest is the `path` portion as noted in the diagram earlier.
