Request:
Add (org-agenda-check-type nil 'agenda) near the beginning of
`org-agenda-todo' to prevent execution unless thing at point is an agenda
item.  Optionally, add a custom variable (perhaps named
`org-agenda-todo-allow-only-agenda-items' or something similar) with
default value of nil such that if non-nil, the added (org-agenda-check-type
nil 'agenda) statement is called.  This ensures that `org-agenda-todo'
works the same way as before, unless the user changes the default value.

Reason:
Prevents this scenario:  When a user marks a recurring task in the Tags
List as Done, there is no indication that it happened.  The TODO state
remains at Todo and the task remains on the list, even though the
schedule/deadline date advanced.  The user might repeat the action, which
will cause the schedule/deadline date to advance a second time.  The next
schedule/deadline may be missed as a result.

This is described in more detail on my blog:
