If the aim of this RFE is simply to add a new field to describe a user-driven health status of a host to drive some out of band orchestration, I think it's would lead to confusion, because it overlaps with 'admin_status' and 'alive' attributes.
One crazy thought would be to extend tags [1] to encompass agents too. Then you can tag your agents any way you see fit.
