I don't hear much talk about agency in fiction, but when I do it usually is about how much the author gives a character, especially women.

that said, it's always going to be a hard discussion because unless you're unconscious or otherwise mentally incapacitated, you always have some agency, and agency itself is always broadly limited unless you're like Leto II or whatever, and the rest is incredibly relative and people give different weights to, say, trauma or the psychological affects of society (which imo affects awareness of circumstances rather than the ability to influence those circumstances but people disagree!).

So I think it's just one of those terms where it has more of a demonstrable social existence than a actual definition. That's especially true of marginalized characters, so I have definitely seen it used a little solipsistically with female characters, and feminist critique.
