Check the contents of key_name, if the agent says invalid format, then there’s something wrong with the key – like .. are you sure that’s the correct key? Even if it’s not the private key you need, the ssh agent won’t return invalid format if the key is working, you simply won’t be able to connect. You might have placed your public key in there, for some reason. Check it!
