Hi All.
I want to put a host in maintenance mode, but it has a vCLS Agent VM running on it. This DRS is set to manual on this cluster. Do I simply vmotion the agent VM and pass through the warning message and move the agent VM back when I'm done the work on the host?

You should be able to migrate to a different host. You can override default vCLS VM datastore placement. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-6C11D7F9-4E92-4EA8...
Here is some information about vCLS.
I believe I found the answer.

Perfect. Looks like you got your answer.
Hi @rellan1
when you enable maintenance mode on the host the cluster will automatically move (also without DRS enablement) to another host. If you try to manually move it you will get a prompt referring to a KB.
recommendation: Make sure you set the datastore selection on the cluster configuration to productive datastore, so the vcls vms are not created on host local storage. This option is available starting from update 3c as far as I rember.
Please kudo and marks as solved, when your question is answered.

Even with the DRS set to Manual, you can just put the host in maintenance mode and the vCLS vm will move to another host in the cluster with no issues.
