Why do you want to disable them? There is no pppd option for doing so,
they are minimal messages pppd aways sends. You would have to edit the
pppd source code. I can only wish you "good luck" there. Or disable
any messages from being sent by syslogd from the local2 facility or
with the warn log level by editing /etc/syslog.conf, which would mean
no messages from anything else using local2 or warn would be logged.

I don't know anything about "net.agent," except that it appears in some
posts with questions regarding pppd. Very likely distribution dependent.
