If false positives are a problem, we could just have an empty default value.
Users would simply have to configure something like:
   <agents>net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-agent</agents>
Also, a special auto-discover value  (or another predefined value of
course) could be used to discover agents in the test classpath and add them
as agents automatically.
