Search offers by natural-language intent. Arguments are an [AgentOffer Query](https://github.com/agentoffernetwork/protocol) request object — the same shape as the REST API.

aon_resolve_category
Turn free text ("hiking boots", "team chat software") into AON Taxonomy v1 category ids — the model never has to memorize or invent them.
aon_get_category_schema
Optional Hosted extension: return decision factors for an already resolved category id, to ask the right clarifying question before searching. Its standalone result does not add `decision_factors` to the Query request or response.
aon_submit_feedback

aon_manage_watch
Restore (`watch`) or cancel (`unwatch`) the default watch on an offer or category when the user explicitly asks. *Early scaffold: acknowledged with success, watch state not persisted yet.*
