In The Bible, such agreements are called covenants.
An example of such a covenant is the Mosaic Law covenant, of which, the Ten Commandments were the most famous part of that law covenant. That agreement consisted of about 300 requirements, and the agreement was between the Jewish nation of Israel and their God.

There are other religions that have their own concepts of agreements/covenants between men and their respective Gods. Some religions state that there were men and women who were given pledges or promises; they received boons from their respective Gods. The various different religions and cultures had their own descriptions for these compacts between men and their God. Some religions claim that their God made various covenants with individuals to be born as a son, daughter, brother, wife, husband etc. It is also acclaimed that God made covenants with individuals to protect or save them from the wrath of demonic individuals.

What is the agreement that god made with man?

The agreement that was made by God was life forever on earth. That opportunity was postponed due to the fact that Adam and Eve have spread the disease of death on mankind. Read Genesis 3: 19 and Romans 5: 12. 2'000 years ago God sent his precious Son on earth to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8. Psalm 37: 29 reads. " the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it". The agreement has not changed. Our obedience is still the condition to live forever on earth. 1 Timothy 2: 4-6 reads. " Whose will ( God's will ) is that all sorts of people be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all. " John 17: 3 reads. " This means everlasting life , their coming to know to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ." So to answer your question, the agreement that was made at the beginning of mankind was our obedience to God and His Sovereignty.

What does a intermediary do?

A Intermediary is the same thing as a mediator. I Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus". A mediator is a connecting link between two parties who want to come to an agreement. In the case of I Timothy 2:5 talking about Salvation Jesus Christ was the connecting link between God and men. Jesus was the perfect mediator as he possessed the nature and attributes of God (He was the Son of God and God Himself) and He (Jesus) was fully a Human Being. Jesus was the God/Man and so was the perfect Mediator. He mediates peace between God and any man who comes to God through Jesus Christ.
