-## 9. Classification
+## 9. Observation Tools (Extended Semantics)
+
+Observation tools inspect application state without mutating it.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `capture_debug_snapshot`
+- `get_screen_fingerprint`
+- `get_network_activity`
+- `get_logs`
+
+### 9.1 Snapshot Response Model
+
+`capture_debug_snapshot` MUST return a dual-layer response:
+
+- `raw`: required object
+- `semantic`: optional object
+
+The raw layer is authoritative and MUST remain unchanged from the underlying observation data. It is the source of truth and MUST NOT be interpreted or rewritten.
+
+The semantic layer is derived, best-effort, and MUST be generated exclusively from the raw layer.
+
+Raw layer contents include:
+
+- UI hierarchy or accessibility tree
+- screenshot when available
+- element-level attributes
+- logs and fingerprint/activity observations
+- raw error fields when partial collection fails
+
+Semantic layer shape when present:
+
+```ts
+{
+  screen: string | null,
+  signals: Record<string, string | number | boolean> | null,
+  actions_available: string[] | null,
+  confidence: number,
+  warnings: string[]
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `confidence` MUST be between 0 and 1
+- `warnings` MUST be present when `semantic` is present
+- `semantic` MAY be omitted entirely when derivation is not reliable
+- `semantic` MUST be treated as unreliable if it conflicts with raw data
+- `actions_available` are hints only and MUST NOT be treated as guaranteed executable actions
+
+### 9.2 Agent Usage Contract
+
+Agents SHOULD use `semantic` for primary decision-making when present.
+
+Agents MUST fall back to `raw` when:
+
+- `semantic` is missing
+- `confidence < 0.7`
+- `warnings` is non-empty
+- semantic output conflicts with expected state or raw data
+
+`semantic` is for planning only and MUST NOT be used for verification.
+
+### 9.3 Relationship to Classification
+
+Semantic signals MAY be used as input to `classify_action_outcome`.
+
+Semantic output MUST NOT replace classification or verification.
+
+Classification remains a supplementary, post-action interpretation mechanism.

 - Returns partial data when components fail and includes per-part error fields (e.g. `screenshot_error`, `ui_tree_error`).

+    },
+    "actions_available": ["review checkout", "inspect error"],
+    "confidence": 0.82,
+    "warnings": []
+  }
 }
 ```
 
 Notes:
 - Useful immediately after detecting crashes or unexpected UI behaviour.
 - Do not expect perfect data during a crash; tool is designed to return best-effort context and include errors for failed parts.
+- Treat `semantic` as planning guidance only; `raw` remains the source of truth.
