This is a hard haiku constraint because AGREE is abstract and conversational, not naturally image-bearing. Haiku usually wants something seen, heard, or touched, so a word like this can easily flatten the third line into mere statement. auntie jj’s “the bagels seemed FRESH / not AWARE they were frozen / AGREE: Toasting masks” is a good example of solving that problem through structure: the poem sets up perception, reverses it, then uses AGREE as a comic verdict. Across the set, the stronger entries make the final word act like pressure, plea, conclusion, or reluctant acknowledgment, which gives the constraint an actual job inside the poem.
