Configure MongoDB Automation Agent collecting stats on some collection to not trigger alerts

We just had a support case about some alerts being raised on our cluster because the MongoDB Automation Agent collecting stats on some collection doing queries without index triggers "Scanned Objects / Returned" ratio has went over 1000. It would be really nice to at least not raise alerts when it's the mongodb automation agent that triggered it. Were monitoring our alerts a lot and these are false positive we can't do anything about it seems other than create all the indexes it needs, which might change over time. We have no guarantee of which index it needs. Another alternative would be to tell us in the performance advisor which index to create to avoid those. I'm not sure what's the right solution here, but the way this works right now is wrong.
