How are you restarting the agent?

As long as the agent is shut down cleanly,
then it should save the new values (in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf)
and restore them when it starts up again.

If you kill the agent abruptly (e.g. using "kill -9"), then it doesn't
get a chance to save these values, so would revert to the default
ones when it restarts.
   There again, if you kill processes using "kill -9", then you
deserve all you get!   :-)

That shouldn't be necessary - the existing code ought to do
what you need.
