@mion93 Yes, that's the general idea!
It's a little more complicated because while you can call many companies "agencies", you wouldn't call everyone who worked for these agencies an "agent". Examples might be helpful:
Agent: FBI agent, CIA agent, Secret Service agent
Agencies: FBI, CIA, the Secret Service
You wouldn't call a SpaceX engineer an agent, but SpaceX can be called an agency.
It's a little complicated even for a native speaker like myself, so don't worry if you don't fully understand the differences!
Summary: You can use agent to describe a lot of different organizations or companies. You can't use agent for every worker. In fact, I'd just use it for security agencies/organizations for now.

'Agent' refers to a person, while an agency a company or organization. However, you wouldn't call just anyone an 'agent'. You might call someone who works for security organizations like the United State's CIA or FBI 'agents', but you wouldn't call an engineer an 'agent'.
If you've watched The Matrix (1999), one of the antagonists was called "Agent Smith", partly because the description of "Agent" gives the feeling that Smith worked for a large, mysterious agency.

Oh I see...
But "the Central Intelligence Agency" isn't a company...
Sorry, I still can't understand "agency"😢
Could you tell me what kind of images of "agency"?

@3rdDegree:
Thank you so much!
So you mean, "agent" is someone works for organization or company?
Your explanation seems to make sense to me.😀
