Azure pipeline condition to choose trough agent

I am afraid there is no such way to do this at this moment.

As we know, the YAML files are precompiled when we execute our pipeline. During the pre-compilation phase, the YAML will be parsed to determine whether there are syntax or logical errors.

However, if you do not enter the compilation and execution stage, you cannot know the state of the agent.

Therefore, it is impossible to judge the state of the agent in the pre-compilation stage.
