Agent expression evaluation makes sense in the context of "current
scope" or "current frame".  We can't switch to a frame at any arbitrary
address, because the frame maybe does not exist.

Any examples that "maint agent" doesn't meet your needs in
breakpoint/tracepoint?  It works in the following simple case,

(gdb) b main if (unsigned int) main > 1
(gdb) maintenance agent-eval (unsigned int) main > 1
  0  const64 134513662
  9  zero_ext 32
 11  const8 1
 13  zero_ext 32
 15  swap
 16  less_unsigned
 17  end
