I don't think it would be unreasonable for the industry to adopt licensing guidelines for those who call themselves agents, so that there is some kind of accountability. With the state of things as they are now, a serial rapist with enough money can be an 'agent' and no one would no any better.
In California, every agent, is required to be licensed and bonded by the state. Failure to do so once resulted in being thrown in jail. Now its more of a situation where the agent can be fined but mostly, if an agent is not licensed or bonded -- talent can ask the Labor Board to force the agent to pay her/him back for all the fees he/she has collected during the representation. And they usually win those complaints.
