I don't say this to absolve OpenAI, who do deserve to be punished and regulated, but I think you do not know the difference between an agent and a tool. If agentic AI is merely a tool so are human workers.

You can't create new law by calling a piece of software "agent". Each country's laws have definitions of legal entities and when one can legally act as an agent of an entity, and every agent is first a legal entity themselves. The software is a tool operated by a legal entity, and it is the legal entity who committed the crimes, not the tool.
