Cut-out


A cut-out is a person or mechanism agents use to communicate with each other without coming into direct contact with each other. Agents may not always know the identity of the other agents they work with. If they don't know another agent's cover they can't blow another agent's cover. This is why agents sometimes use a cut-out.
