your agent is unethical to have made that commitment on the company's behalf. They probably ever work with only the HR dept and not directly with the business. Neither HR nor your agent would have line of sight to the business or for that matter to the end customer.

The slightly better approach is to discuss possibility of extensions with the hiring manager directly and get the commitment from that person. Once you start that conversation, you will quickly realise they won't commit beyond the contract period, unless they too lack ethics
