If you want the agenda to show up when you select "x", then you need to
use an empty string after agenda:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands 
      '(("x" agenda "" nil
         ("~/agenda.html"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you want to name the agenda view, then you should use:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands 
      '(("x" "Export to html" agenda "" nil
         ("~/agenda.html"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When you select "x", it will only display the agenda in an emacs buffer.
To export the agenda, you need to use:

C-c a e (export agenda views)

This command exports all agenda views for which you have defined an
export target (in this case, "~/agenda.html").

Best,
