DIAMETER: Does Proxy Agent validate presence of a mandatory field for an incoming diameter message ?

Please find the description of the problem:
A diameter client and server communicates in the network through Proxy Agent.
Here, I have assumed PCEF is a diameter client and PCRF is a diameter server. Interface between the PCEF and the PCRF is known as Gx.

Does Proxy agent, which sits between PCEF and PCRF, need to support Gx application ?

Can someone please provides the detailed behavior of a proxy agent ?
