OK - so those CLI applications would probably need the relevant
MIBs.  But the agent shouldn't need any of them - it can work
purely with numeric OIDs quite happily.

Then that CLI application would need to be shipped with the MIB files.

Not with the agent image - that can work without any MIB files at all.
But yes - the CLI application would need the relevant MIBs to be
shipped with it.

Sorry - our SNMP toolkit doesn't work that way.
We parse the MIB files directly.
