Can you insert spies into other empowers and sabotage stuff?
Not at release but will definitely be in the future. Espionage is most likely going to be one of the first expansions, that or a more depthful market/civilian economy. In Paradox's other games espionage is quite an extensive system (including things like supporting a civil war/rebels of another nation in Europa Universalis), they usually have a lot of mechanics which I suppose they didn't feel they could add in for initial release regarding espionage. If you want an idea of what espionage might be like in Stellaris in the future take a look at the system in Europa Universalis such as covert actions (agitate for liberty, slander merchants, sow discontent, etc) here.
