Not sure where the first iteration of this question ended up, so let's try again.
Is there any guidelines, limits, definition, or other indication what a "small, stowed object" actually is? My GM has ruled it to be one pound, to make my tail usele- I mean weaker than quick draw, but he's willing to change that. Willing if, and only if, there's any indication of its actual limitations.

From the Weapons 'Weapon Size' entry:
"A weapon’s size category isn’t the same as its size as an object. Instead, a weapon’s size category is keyed to the size of the intended wielder. In general, a light weapon is an object two size categories smaller than the wielder, a one-handed weapon is an object one size category smaller than the wielder, and a two-handed weapon is an object of the same size category as the wielder."
As a medium character, you could use it to retrieve any one-handed or smaller medium sized weapon (since those would be small or smaller objects). The heaviest medium one-handed weapon (a small object) i could find is the Dwarven Double Waraxe, at 12lbs, and as written you could retrieve it.
Boom, precedent.
EDIT: To take note, retrieving a weapon is not "wielding" the weapon. The line there is to stop you from being able to use the tail to attack with a weapon in combat, thus keeping your hand(s) free for silly reasons.
EDIT: Visit the "Animated Objects" entry. A 'small' animated object is a chair, a 'tiny' animated object is a candelabra. I'm pretty sure this is talking about "creature size" for the objects, but they are called animated "objects" and I'm not seeing much other item size descriptions anywhere.
