What are the responsibilities of a CIA agent?
A foreign agent's primary responsibility is to supply the CIA officer with secret or sensitive information. Typically, there are good agents, mediocre agents, and bad agents. A good agent might be someone who provides you with a wealth of information that's very detailed and accurate. A mediocre agent will probably do just enough that they can sustain the relationship, give you just enough information that you'll remain interested in keeping the relationship with them. A bad agent will either provide you with false information or they might be a double agent, someone who has does not have your best interest at heart, but the best interest of their own country's government. There have certainly been cases in the history of the CIA where we've been had by double agents.
