I have a Azure Pipelines (previously known as VSTS CI/CD pipelines) definition using Hosted Agent. There are cases when the build works locally but fails on hosted agent due to environment configuration differences. It will greatly improve troubleshooting experience if I can remote desktop to the Hosted Agent assigned to my job, like what AppVeyor does. Is it possible for Azure Pipelines as well?

As others have already said, it is not possible to RDP or SSH to an agent hosted by them, from Capabilities and limitations section of the documentation:
Microsoft-hosted agents do not offer:
- The ability to remotely connect.
