They're not arbitrary, far from it. You have a very constrained set of tools each agent can do. An agent has a "job" if you will.

Maybe the agent feeds your PR to the LLM to generate some feedback, and posts a the text to the PR as a comment. Maybe it can also run the linters, and use that as input to the feedback.

But the at the end of the day, all it's really doing is posting text to a github comment. At worst it's useless feedback. And while I personally don't have much AI in my workflow today, when a bunch of smart people are telling me the feedback can be useful I can't help but be curious!
