If you need to actively know if agent is up running, there is
health.Check() API to do it.

There are two cases:
1. if vsock is supported, the messages are present on kata.sock
directly. This requires host/guest vsock support and it is still WiP
in kata.
2. if vsock is not supported, kata-proxy is spawned to act like a
broker for agent calls. The messages going through kata.sock is
wrapped over with the yamux protocol
(https://github.com/hashicorp/yamux). If you test kata right now, it
is always the case at the moment. I think this is the "some other
channel" you were asking ;)
