Yes, exactly. But considering the holding of things to be valuable or have worth is a subjective assessment done by agents.
So consistency, taken as a logical law or something, is something that does X, in this case (at least what I was thinking about), X being a way of sorting propositions that avoids incoherence between them. This property might well be objective.
But whether that utility of avoiding incoherence is valuable is decided by an agent, and it seems to me can only be decided by an agent. This would be subjective.
Tying this back to moral realism, punching Bob causes harm to Bob (objectively), but deciding that this is immoral is an agential assessment (subjective).
