I think I did not make my Question clear. The scenario is like this.

I need to monitor a user selected SNMP OID periodically. So when the
user inputs an OID (I don't have control over GUI and knows only when
coming to my SUB Agent as SNMP SET request), I need to check whether the
OID is valid (i.e. whether the agent can read it). If not BAD_VALUE
should be returned.
Is there any way I can do this? Since, if I do a SNMP-GET within a
SNMP-SET it is blocking.

Thanks in advance,
Geo

Thanks Robert.
So is there any way I can validate the user input? That is, if user
tries to set an OID which is not valid (Not in specific view /not able
to retrieve info / type is not as we expect etc), then it should return
BAD_VALUE.

Regards,
Geo

This will not work. Your get request will block while waiting for the
set
request to finish. And the agent will not process other requests during
processing of a set request.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
