So the one issue there is that AgentX over TCP is potentially insecure.
Between containers, in an isolated environment, it's fine.  Between the
container and the host you are leaking a TCP port that may be used
maliciously.  AgentX was designed to run over a secured socket, so the
right thing to do is attach a secured socket instead through the
container file passing mechanism; I assume this is possible but haven't
tried it.
