Overview

Agent forwarding means using the local identity (private key) from the machine that initiated the ssh connection on the remote machine - the machine you're logging into. This mode allows you to authenticate against further machines you may log into, with your local credentials, while logged in on the remote machine, without copying your private key on the remote machine.

ssh -A ...

This forwards the connection to your ssh agent on the remote computer.
