There are times when you might wish that you didn't use this: I have on
some occasions mangled a file outside of emacs, but I still had the
buffer with the all-important contents in emacs, so I was able to avert
catastrophe: iiuc, global auto-revert would revert the buffer from the
file on disk, eliminating the possibility of undoing the mistake.

On the OP's question, I'd prefer a more targeted solution: something
like this should work (very lightly tested - check the doc for
revert-without-query if you want to modify the regexp):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun xin-shi-org-revert-agenda-buffers ()
  (interactive)
  (mapcar
   (lambda (file)
     (let ((revert-without-query '(".*\.org$")))
       (find-file file)
       (revert-buffer)))
   org-agenda-files))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
