# Read an agent run

> Follow the steps an agent took on one row, see what it looked at, and find where an answer came from.

Every agent run leaves a trail of the moves it made, in the order it made them. Open a cell to see what it searched, what it read, and the reasoning behind its answer.

## Open a run's trail

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the cell">
    Click a cell the agent filled in to open its drawer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expand Steps taken">
    Click **Steps taken** to open the timeline of everything the agent did for that answer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Read the trail

Each step names one move, in the order it happened:

* **Searched the web**, with the query shown beneath it
* **Read a page**, naming the site once it resolves
* **Scanned a site**, mapping it before a crawl
* **Crawled a site** across more than one page
* **Used a tool**, naming which one and its arguments
* **Finished**, once it has enough to answer

## See why it answered that way

A muted line above some steps is the model's own reasoning for the move that follows, folded to one line until you click it. Below the whole trail, **Reasoning** explains why the value in the cell is the answer.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What does Answered without researching mean?">
    The agent had enough from what you gave it and skipped research entirely. Its **Finished** step still shows, so the trail is never empty.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if the agent tries more than once on a row?">
    Each retry gets its own attempt heading above its trail, so you can tell which steps belong to which try.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is there no Steps taken panel on this cell?">
    The cell has not been run yet, or its value came from a lookup that never had a trail to show in the first place.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I see how long each step took?">
    Yes. Each step shows its own duration, and the **Steps taken** heading totals the whole run beside the step count.
