Answer

Is it possible that you have an instance running SQL Server Express? SQL Server Agent is not supported on Express Edition.

Also, if you're logging in with a different user than master, you would need to add the user to the SQLAgentUserRole. Here is the [documentation ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.SQLServer.CommonDBATasks.Agent.html) reference.
