I think this depends on my relationship to the organizer. If they are my employee or mentee then sure. If the perceived agenda takes 5 seconds, maybe.

But it takes a few minutes to compose a draft agenda for someone else’s meeting. So I could spend an hour a day trying to figure out what blank meetings are supposed to do.

Asking for an agenda is quick, helps the organizer with a signal for what’s expected, and I can sustain that behavior.

I wouldn’t cc all the invites unless I think they are all also curious about the agenda and I just want to stave off an email storm asking the same question. (But then if I know that others will ask the same thing, I might just do nothing because someone else will ask)
