 ## Reading arrays
 
-MxAccess does not return array attributes as a single rowset. Bulk `AddItem("<obj>.<arrayAttr>")` returns `MxCategoryCommunicationError, Detail=1003`. Read elements individually:
+MxAccess accepts **two** reference forms for arrays — pick by what you need:
+
+### Whole array — `<obj>.<arrayAttr>[]` (empty brackets)
 
 ```powershell
-mxa read 'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[1]' \
-         'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[2]' \
-         'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[3]' \
-         --llm-json
+mxa read 'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[]' --llm-json
 ```
 
-- Array indices are **1-based** (`[1]`, `[2]`, …). `[0]` is invalid and returns a configuration error.
-- The CLI does not (yet) auto-discover the array length; combine with [`../../grdb/queries/attributes.sql`](../../grdb/queries/attributes.sql) (`array_dimension` column) to know how many elements to fetch.
-- Writing an element uses the same indexed reference: `mxa write '<obj>.<attr>[N]' <value>`.
+Returns the full array as a single JSON value:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "tag":   "MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[]",
+  "ok":    true,
+  "value": ["", "11111", "", "", /* ... 50 elements total ... */],
+  "quality": 192,
+  "statuses": [{"Success":-1,"Category":"MxCategoryOk", ...}]
+}
+```
+
+The array is fixed-length (sized at deploy time per the template's `array_dimension`). Empty string elements are unset slots, not gaps.
+
+### Single element — `<obj>.<arrayAttr>[N]`
+
+```powershell
+mxa read 'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers[2]' --llm-json
+```
+
+Indices are **1-based**: `[1]` is the first element, `[NumElements]` is the last. `[0]` is invalid. Single-element reads are also writeable: `mxa write '<obj>.<attr>[N]' <value>`.
+
+### What does *not* work
+
+```powershell
+mxa read 'MESReceiver_001.MoveInPartNumbers'   # bare ref, no brackets
+# → MxCategoryCommunicationError, Detail=1003
+```
+
+The plain reference (no `[]`, no `[N]`) is rejected by the proxy. Always include the brackets — empty for whole-array, indexed for element.
+
+### Discovering array length
+
+The CLI doesn't (yet) auto-discover element count. Two ways to find it:
+
+1. Read with `[]` and count the returned values.
+2. Query the Galaxy Repository's [`../../grdb/queries/attributes.sql`](../../grdb/queries/attributes.sql) — the `array_dimension` column reports the configured size from the template.
