Whenever someone edits (this includes enabling) and then saves an agent, it's also signed by that person—which usually means someone other than the mail owner. With agentEZ we will use the owner of the mail database (which is stored in the CalendarProfile document's Owner field) to set as the owner of the OutOfOffice agent—which can also be done for many databases at once.

This all means that you can easily have each mail database's OutOfOffice agent set to its owner—rather than manually setting the Run on Behalf of property for every single Out of Office agent on a Domino server.
