Frankly the best defense is probably to just write your own agent if you're worried about someone injecting an agenda into one. I strongly suspect most agents would have a place to inject your own agenda and priorities so it knows what you want it to do for you.
There is just a lot of speculation here without practical consideration. And I get it, you have to be aware of possible risks to guard against them, but as a practical matter I'd have to see one actually weaponized before worrying overly much about the consequences.
