Technically, probably not. I often think a lot more people get grouped into being operatives than actually are. I think most of the time they are individuals that serve CIA interests and are consequently propped up/allowed to flourish, without being actual operatives. Javier seems a bit too legitimately batshit to be an actual op.
But he is absolutely acting at their behest, knowingly or not. So the distinction ultimately makes little difference.
