Could you build this?
No An SSH agent backed by hardware TPM requires specialized cryptography implementation, low-level TPM 2.0 specifications (TSS2), platform security, and standard SSH protocol daemon handling.
What it would actually take: The application is written in Go or C/Rust implementing an OpenSSH agent protocol daemon that talks directly to TPM 2.0 chips via the TSS2 library or OS device nodes (`/dev/tpmrm0`, Cryptography Next Gen on Windows). It requires deep knowledge of cryptographic key sealing, PCR policies, platform authorization, attestation, and secure handling of non-migratable hardware private keys.
