Just as OpenSSH warns if you have insecure permissions on your keys,
I'd suggest that OpenSSH should warn if you have an insecure setting of
ForwardAgent: if you have a global "yes" or a Host * "yes",
OpenSSH
could warn and suggest a more host-specific setting.

For an example of how widespread this unsafe setting is:
