Yeah I think this line should really be at the utter-tippy-top of the README
> The Secrets Manager Agent provides compatibility for legacy applications that access secrets through an existing agent or that need caching for langages not supported through other solutions.
This does not appear to be an interesting, state of the art, purported best practices way to access Secrets Manager; its just a shim for legacy apps. And that does make sense, as there are many languages which do not have SDKs available, but do have an HTTP client library; though I question how much of the demand for something like this comes from how insanely complex authenticating with the AWS API is.
