Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently it is not possible to update agent settings through the module.
Describe the solution you'd like
For both modules to support "agent_settings" update API endpoint:
- Nessus Manager: /agents/settings
- Tenable.IO: /scanners/null/agents/_bulk/directive
I guess it should be contained within "Agent Config"... or for it to be renamed to "Agent Settings" (backend name?)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered bypassing the module and making the API calls directly, but that's just a workaround.

Research direction
Start by locating the Nessus Manager and Tenable.IO agent modules and their existing "Agent Config" entry points. Compare how each module handles updates, then map /agents/settings and /scanners/null/agents/_bulk/directive to the requested agent settings interface. Done means both modules support updating agent settings through the library.
