You'll always get an answer, after they have a glance at the computer. I've never had any agent tell me this was inappropriate, or that they were not allowed to tell me the answer.
I've had them tell me they didn't know and hadn't looked at the flight. Usually when working another flight at the moment. But it usually works.
