Because it is vague. Agents of the federal governments? Agents of state governments? Agents of city governments? Federal law enforcement officers (FBI)? Federal counterterrorism agents (CIA)? Military technology researchers (DARPA)? "Agent" itself is already a word of very broad meaning, whose legal definition is a person authorized to act on behalf of another. And if this includes an agent of any government, does it necessarily include law enforcement (police), intelligence, researchers, diplomats, judges, civil servants, postal system workers, public schoolteachers, etc.? They are all agents authorized to act for governments in certain capacities.

For now, I've added Category:Police to Category:Government agents, because they are law enforcement agents of the various governments they serve, such as the NYPD authorized to serve the city government of New York City to enforce its laws. But it would help if the category was clearly delineated and, if necessary, renamed to suit its intended purpose.
