Eh, if you tell me that I need to do X, then I can make choices on how to accomplish X, that I am no longer an agent as a human?

You're trying to redefine long standing definitions for God knows what reason.

The difference is that you are a sentient person who decides to follow my instructions, not just a tool that I use.

The "agentic" tools follow instructions. We are adaptation-executers, following instructions evolution gave us.

Don't think too highly of us humans. We're just tools evolution uses.

The idea of "sentience" here could be replaced with "a soul" or "magic thinking powers" or almost anything else. It's an undefinable concept.
