Usage notes

This is a catenative verb that takes the to infinitive.

The transitive usage could be considered as just an omission of to or upon.

US and Canadian English do not use the transitive form. Thus "they agreed on a price" or "they agreed to the conditions" are used in North America but not "they agreed a price" or "they agreed the conditions".
