You don't need an agent to check if the PR matches the template.

The point is: it’s easier on the humans if submissions not following the template are auto-rejected.

Or do you mean just grep for “TEMPLATE-1.3” and if it’s not there, reject?

Yes - a deterministic tool is just fine for verifying that a template has been followed.

It's not quite as simple as "check for one line," but it's not hard to have a useful check that costs far fewer resources to run than an agent would.
