Something could exhibit goal-like behaviour for the outside viewers without having internal structure of an agent. For example, a brick is falling to the ground—we could say that it is aimed on the specific point on the ground, but it is not an agent. The same way an infectious disease can take over the world without being an agent. Moreover, even some humans sometimes are not agent.
In my opinion, Oracle AI output only answers to questions, and Tool AI can do some other staff, like continuous data stream transformation or controlling mechanisms.
National states, human body and OSs—all of them are good and even clever in preserving homeostatic state (except the time of government shutdown) - but they typically achieve it not via high level agential reasoning.
Swarm of agents could exhibit behaviour different from the behaviour or goals of any separate agent.
