These agents are not really meant to check if you are doing any work or not. They are there to find out if you are leaking company data out.

I have worked with some DLP such as digitalguardian.com that does indeed report the time you spent focusing on each app, for instance, which is a big no-no for me too, but most of the time the company is just interested if you haven't been copying data between your computer and some thumb drive, or copying it between you corporate and personal cloud drives, or syncing your corporate e-mail to an external account, that kind of stuff.
