I don't know why it took me until now, but Bond wasn't a spy at all, he was a straight up assassin.

More of a fixer sent in to deal with issues that probably require killing people

In the book Dr. No, his briefing is "This important intelligence officer in the Caribbean has gone missing. Most likely he's run off with his secretary. Here's your gun. Go deal with this."

I always thought fixers were what cleaned up after HIS work.

Sort of like in Pulp Fiction when Mr. Wolf is called. He fixes the situation, becoming connected to the mess, performing otherwise illegal actions to fix the initial, yet unintentional murder, for pay.
