A definition of general intelligence may or may not include agency to act. There is no consensus on that. To learn and to predict, yes, but not necessarily to act.
Does someone with Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) continue to be intelligent? I’d say yes.
Obviously, agency to act might be instrumental for learning and predicting especially early in the life of an AI or a human, but beyond a certain point, internal simulations could substitute for that.
