There is no such thing as an "SNMPWalk call" as far as the agent is concerned.
All you need to be concerned with is individual GET, GETNEXT and (for
writable objects) SET requests. The main agent framework and the
client applications will take care of everything else.

As far as which MIB objects to implement - you can safely ignore
everything that doesn't have a MAX-ACCESS value of "read-only",
"read-write" or "read-create".
Whether you implement all of these objects (and whether you
implement writable objects as such) is totally up to you.
