       One might think there is nothing lower than the 'literary' agent (well, in the literary field; there are of course real estate agents, those employed in financial services, politicians, .... oh, the extra-literary list is endless), but the literary agents of the old Eastern European variety make for a particularly sordid, sorry lot: at hlo they now review Szőnyei Tamás' Titkos írás. Állambiztonsági szolgálat és irodalmi élet, 1956-1990 ('Secret Writing. The State Security Services and Literary Life, 1956-1990'), which appears to give some insight into the nastiness; see their piece on Literary spies.
