This makes sense in general, but I'm not sure it makes sense to use
a separate hex_byte buffer here:

You know from the beginning that the agent expression will take
(2 * aexpr->len) bytes, so it should be OK to only check this
once, ahead of time.  In fact, sending a partial agent expression
seems to be worse than sending none, so if the agent expression
is too long, I think it should be just omitted (and the user
warned).
