This is of course a good idea, but depending on your requirements for the scripting host may not be practical. You can start ssh-agent once, and it will stay running as long as the machine does, but should you loose power or the box get bounced for some reason, you'll need to log in and run ssh-agent again before your automated scripts will succeed.
