Because "init_agent" is the bit that handles some of the
persistent configuration information. You don't need that
for a "run-once" application like 'snmpget' or 'snmpset'.
But you *do* for a trap handler.

It's not present in snmpget.c, no.
But it *is* there in snmptrapd.c - about line 840 or 850-ish:
/*
* initialize the agent library
*/
init_agent("snmptrapd");

No - that's fine.
If you don't need to support those particular config settings,
then you don't need to register handlers for them.
But you do need to initialise the agent library as well as the
main snmp library.
