SSMA says my SQL Server agent isn't running, but it is.

When connecting to my target SQL instance, on the same server as SSMA, it gives me a warning that SQL Server Agent isn't running and must be up. However, it is up and running.
What is it looking for, and how do I get it to recognize the actual status?
