Scott Aaronson in The Ghost in the Quantum Turing Machine uses the word “agent” 37 times.
The building of agents is an engineering discipline. Much of the discussion on this board is about AIs’ which are agentive as well as intelligent.
You might mean there is no fundamental difference between an agent and a non-agent. But then you need to show that someone, somewhere has asserted that, rather than using the word “agent” merely as a “useful” way of expressing something non-fundamental.

More precision is needed.
