I think the perception of agency is linked not to unpredictability, but rather to the feeling of "I don't understand".
Coin flips are unpredictable, but we understand them very well. Weather is (somewhat) unpredictable as well, but we all have a lot of experience with it and think we understand it. But some kind of complex behaviour and we have no idea what's behind it? Must be agency.
