As mentioned earlier, non-harmful spy ops are completely non-harmful. You do not lose any spies, whether someone else fails or succeeds. Read my initial reply again, non-harmful ops do not break GDI. You cannot use missiles on anyone in GDI even if they failed 100 non-harmful spyops on you.

The only way you can lose spies is by either

1. Selling them to your private market.
2. Spying someone else and failing. Note only you lose spies, the target will NEVER lose any spies, UNLESS the harmful spyop "Assassinate Intelligence Centers" is used. This is considered the most worthless harmful spy op in the game too.
3. You switch governments from a non-Monarchy, incurring a % loss to everything in your country (including spies) except your total land amount and any placed on the market.
4. You run out of food or money, and a portion of your military leaves your country (including spies).
5. Someone runs "Assassinate Intelligence Centers" harmful op on you.
