why would you use a guest agent (which is primarily targeted for
virtualization-related tasks/coordination) rather than a generic remote
execution tools (like, well, plain ssh:)
The only benefit/difference with the guest agent is that it doesn't require a
network connection. Do you have such a requirement?

exactly;-) So are you trying to come up with something isolated from network
completely?
If not I'd go with a dedicated/different tool
