Agree with or Agree to
Good afternoo (in Spain):
I have a question for you:
How would you say ?
...agree with my proposal.
or
...agree to my proposal.
I have found these two possibilities on the Internet almost in the same frequency. Obviously, it is not the same result for it is not the same expression.
To be a purist, which one would be the correct way?
Thank you very much

According to 'Practical English Usage' by Michael Swan, you could get what you need.
a.agree with a person, opinion or policy
I entirely agree with you.
He left the firm because he didn't agree with their sales policy.
b. agree about a subject of discussion
We agree about most things.
c. agree on a matter for decision
Let's try to agree on a date.
d. agree to a suggestion
I'll agree to your suggestion if you lower the price.
I'm not quite sure whether both are correct, though. I think both possible.
On the victory side,
