 Description   

This page should say
"Download the latest agent. In a browser, go to: curl -OL <OpsManagerCentralURL>/download/agent/automation/mongodb-mms-automation-agent-latest.windows_x86_64.msi"

Because currently it implies that downloading the latest from our website for Ops Manager is OK. This may be "just fine" as long as the Ops Manager installed on-prem is the latest and corresponds with what agent is available at the URL that currently shows. But if you haven't upgraded your Ops Manager on-prem there is a risk that you'd be downloading a downstream agent here. This has in the past been a problem

The docs currently say to use this exact url, which appears to download the Automation Agent from Cloud Manager, and appears to do so whether or not you have an account with us (I just accessed it from a browser where I have not Cloud credentials):

https://opsmanager.mongodb.com/download/agent/automation/mongodb-mms-automation-agent-latest.windows_x86_64.msi

In the URL, they would want to replace `opsmanager.mongodb.com` with their `mms.centralUrl`, right?
