So please at least consider the following improvement to the agent
protocol: Acquire information from the user.

When the agent needs passphrase or acknowledgment it will have the
ability to forward it to the caller program. Two types of prompts need
to be supported, string and password.

This way, when an agent needs passphrase or in PKCS#11 case prompt for
user to insert his token, the caller program may be used in order to
prompt the user for this information.

Also, please also consider adding configuration file support to the
agent as well, in the same manner other OpenSSH tools use configuration
files.
