# Read one agent's trace

> Returns one page of an agent's steps, oldest first. A step is an agent message, a tool call, a tool result, or a reported finding. Long payloads are shortened and marked with truncated. To read a shortened payload in full, call GET /scans/{scanId}/trace/{eventId} with the step's event_id. To read the next page, send the returned cursor value. If the response contains a note field, the trace is incomplete and the note tells you why.
