'energetic' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'secret agent takes a nap inside' is the wordplay.
'secret agent takes' becomes 'spy' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'spy' placed around 'nap' is 'SNAPPY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snappy that I've seen before include "Bad-tempered" , "Irritable, curt; stylish" , "Ratty" , "Irritable - smart" , "Cleverly concise; stylish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
