Defining 網絡特工 as "Internet troll" is like defining 大麦町 as "dog" -- it's not specific enough.

An "agent provocateur" is "a person employed to associate with suspected individuals or groups with the purpose of inciting them to commit acts that will make them liable to punishment". That is not what trolls do (typically), nor is it what 网络特工s do.
