sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "........" from agent: ag

I'm using gnome and when I try to ssh from a terminal session I get the error:-

[peter@io ] ssh abcdefg.net
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "/home/peter/.ssh/id_rsa" from agent: agent refused operation

My file and folder permissions are:-

drwx------  2 peter peter 4096 Jan  5 11:13 .ssh

-rw-------  1 peter peter 1766 Jun 20  2019 id_rsa
-rw-------  1 peter peter  401 Jun 20  2019 id_rsa.pub

Which seem right.

If I type ssh-add -l I get

2048 SHA256:kaToI51s+n2OISLA4sXhbfMpkbJEitmJBB63fo0iv4Y peter@abc.net (RSA)

So my identity is there. What am I doing wrong please?
