Always verify agent's information before sending your query. Verify the agent's query preferences, contact information, genres of interest, and if the agent is still open to queries.
Although QueryTracker tries to stay current, it is not always easy. Never trust any single source for agent information (and yes, this includes QueryTracker).
Review the user comments for more information, and always follow exactly what it says on the agent's website.
And NEVER give money to an "agent".

Louise has been a delight. She's kind and professional, asking questions about my other work.
Pitch Madness partial request sent 3-14. First I got an auto-response that she was closed to queries, and then a little while later I got an email from her saying she got it and was looking forward to reading.
This was after she closed to queries but I put pitch wars in the subject per her instructions. Nothing as of today
EQ: (to Jenny Bent) 4/24
FR: (from Louise Fury) 5/8, Sent the full to her immediately.
Update: Nudged her on 10/12 (I am a patient person.)
Crickets.
Given the comments by others on this thread, my advice is don't hold your breath. She's closed to queries and obviously has a full client load. I guess she sometimes can't help herself if she goes on #PitMad or is given a referral--but the chances of hearing back without constant nudging are slim. I left my first agent because the modus operandi was the need for constant nudging, and I want someone who is a timely communicator. Onwards!
