The map agent is the point of communication for clients to "talk" to the mapguide server. (emphasis on client. Server-side that's where the API comes in)
The AJAX viewer and webstudio use the mapagent to do all of its magic (draw maps, send commands, etc..) If you look at the source code for the AJAX viewer and webstudio, you'll see many references to map agent used in this way. Of course, this is just from my observation.
