+# Grid-agent perception tools
+
+The grid agent exposes compact read-only projections of state that the existing
+native managers have already observed. A tool call never starts a directory
+search, fetches an asset, selects an object, accepts inventory, sends a packet,
+or mutates the world. The snapshot boundary is enabled only after the native
+event queue reports readiness and is fenced by both session generation and
+region UUID.
+
+Every result has `schema_version`, `tool`, `generation`, `region_id`,
+`observed_unix_millis`, `freshness`, `trust`, and `provenance`. `freshness` is
+`observed` for a new snapshot and `cached` for a snapshot reused within the
+two-second TTL. Missing manager facts are structured `{ "status": "unknown",
+"reason": "manager_cache_unavailable" }` values. Deterministic distances and
+cardinal directions are declared as derived fields; `model_inference` is always
+`none`. Names, descriptions, hover text, parcel text, and inventory paths are
+marked `untrusted_observed_data`, stripped of controls and URL-shaped tokens,
+and limited to 256 UTF-8 bytes.
+
+All eight tools are registered as policy capability `Informational`, risk
+`ReadOnly`, idempotent, fixed cost one tool call, with no approval. The five
+world-state tools may be offered to public chat and IM. Inventory search,
+received landmarks, and recent participants are owner-private projections and
+are exposed only to authorized IM, authenticated local operators, or explicitly
+granted scheduler runs. The interaction intent filter further narrows which
+informational tools a particular conversation may see.
+
+| Tool | Arguments | Result projection | Example |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `world_location` | `{}` | region name and agent position | `{"generation":4,"region_id":"…","position":{"x":128,"y":64,"z":24}}` |
+| `agent_state` | `{}` | agent UUID, position, health, sitting local ID | `{"health":100,"sitting_on_local_id":{"status":"unknown","reason":"manager_cache_unavailable"}}` |
+| `nearby_avatars` | optional `radius_meters`, `page`, `page_size` | UUID, name, position, distance, direction | `{"items":[{"name":"A Resident","distance_meters":3.2,"direction":"north"}]}` |
+| `visible_objects` | optional `radius_meters`, `page`, `page_size` | non-attachment UUID/local ID, safe text, position and scale | `{"items":[{"name":"Cube","local_id":12,"trust":"untrusted_observed_data"}]}` |
+| `parcel_environment` | `{}` | safe current parcel fields and cached terrain/environment facts | `{"parcel":{"status":"observed","area":512},"environment":{"water_height":20,"terrain_height":24}}` |
+| `inventory_search` | required `query`; optional `page`, `page_size` | cached item UUID, name, type, path and modification time | `{"items":[{"name":"Example","kind":"LSL","path":"/Scripts/Example"}]}` |
+| `received_landmarks` | optional `page`, `page_size` | cached landmark inventory metadata | `{"items":[{"name":"Home","region_id":{"status":"unknown","reason":"manager_cache_unavailable"}}]}` |
+| `recent_participants` | optional `page`, `page_size` | avatar UUID, channel and last-active time only | `{"items":[{"avatar_id":"…","channel":"direct_im"}]}` |
+
+Radius is limited to 256 metres, page size to 20, page number to 1,000,
+inventory queries to 128 bytes, each source collection to 2,048 entries, and
+each encoded result to 32 KiB. Ordering is distance then UUID for world items,
+path/name then UUID for inventory and landmarks, and last-active time then UUID
+and channel for participants. Paged results set `source_truncated` when a native
+cache contained more than the inspected bound, so a bounded total is never
+presented as complete. Attachments are excluded. Owner identities,
+permissions, sale data, asset and capability URLs, media URLs, raw assets,
+inventory bodies, and all conversation content are absent by construction.
+
+Snapshot capture has a three-second deadline and observes cancellation. A
+disconnect, reconnect, region crossing, or generation change invalidates the
+cache. Observability receives only authorization/call/tool identifiers, outcome,
+duration, result byte count, and cache-hit status; arguments and result payloads
+are never logged.
