[The Matrix] Why didn't the Agents take over Neo's body to get to Morpheus

Before Neo was unplugged from The Matrix, why didn't the Agents take over his body when he was talking to Morpheus? Is it always just a major risk to remove someone from The Marix, for the reason?

Morpheus does mention that most (though not all) people hooked in to the Matrix can become so dependant on it that they will fight to protect it, which allows the Agents to take over them. So it's possible that those few who, like Neo, recognise the 'wrongness' of the Matrix are resistant to being controlled since they actively fight against it on an instinctive level.

It's also likely that Neo was allowed to escape as part of the Architect's grand plan that had been going on for however long. A plan which had worked for numerous 'Ones' and only really started being derailed when Smith grew beyond his programming and Neo exercised his free will and made a difference choice than he was 'supposed' to.
