If I need to know the other guy's state and I send "AGN AGN", I'll get
his whole exchange.  I don't need his whole exchange, I need his state
(or name or time or whatever is appropriate for the contest at hand).
EXCH? might be a good generic but that's even more chars.

If I need it ALL again, I send "AGN AGN".

Works the other way around, too.  If I get "ST?" or "QTH?" I send my
state 5 times.  If I get "AGN AGN" I send it all again.

Wastes time and effort otherwise.
