Sign arbitrary data with your SSH keys
The use of ssh-agent may be forbidden at some places, even on personal machines. I knew a few. And not that it's completely unjustified..

How about gpg-agent? Is that forbidden?

Nobody used or asked about gpg-agent back then ) The point about ssh-agent was that it stored personal keys in memory of machines shared by multiple users (admins, shifters, devs). So everyone had to type in passwords for every "ssh" )
