That is correct.
But I would use the following criteria/question:

Do I need to make a fully functional application/sub-agent that provides
support
for SNMP get/set and traps that provides low overhead and fast response ?
   Choose AgentX.

Do I need to provide minimal functionality, no SNMP get/set, and am willing
to have high overhead (frequent forking, program loading, etc) ?
   Choose the command line tools.
