Secret agent necessarily underground? (4)
I believe the answer is:
mole
'secret agent' is the definition.
(mole is a kind of secret agent)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mole that I've seen before include "A spy within an organisation" , "Heap of soil (a 6 mountain?)" , "Small congenital skin spot" , "beauty spot" , "Naevus - burrowing mammal - spy" .)
