Description
The auth-agent-req@openssh.com channel is not implemented on the server side.
(i.e, If a server wants to forward/access the auth-agent, and push some key into)
The server need to acknowledge the request by opening a channel (see openssh source code )
Also, ssh2-streams need to implement this channel ssh2-stream
I've created a PR if you could take a look

Research direction
Read the referenced OpenSSH session.c implementation and the ssh2-streams pull request first, then inspect the server-side handling for the auth-agent-req@openssh.com request. Done means the server acknowledges the request and makes the SSH authentication agent available to the connection, with the related ssh2-streams support accounted for.
