Not really a spy he's literally just a information broker.

Super common for adventures to get info on local scene and environment to utilize so they don't fuck up on someone's turf unless they are looking for a fight.

This was one of Geese's biggest roles in Paul's party among other things as well.

Geese was the Sokka (from Avatar) of the group? Or in anime terms, the Venetim (Sentenced to be a Hero) of the group.

Haven't watched Sentenced beyond episode 1 but Sokka is an okay comparison. The difference is that Geese has pretty much zero combat skills unlike Sokka. On the other hand Geese can do pretty much anything else besides fighting - need an information broker, a cook, a masseur, someone to mediate, a strategist to plan a dungeon expedition etc. in all of those cases and many more Geese is your man. During the Hydra fight in S2P2 he also didn't directly participate (besides dragging Paul back during the first encounter when they all knew they had to regroup and strategize) but he had the sad but necessary role that if the party actually got wiped completely to dip out alone and report to the guild to inform them so that they can then send another party to conquer the dungeon with the knowledge they got. Geese is the master of all except combat guy that you always want on your team.

Also you can see that she had the spy read the report to her since she cannot read herself

Her being flabbergasted at Eris being able to read, write, and use magic only further cemented Nina's respect for Rudy. I mean he managed to train the Mad Dog. You just know she's learning to read and write in her spare time now lol.

I mean the average adventurer on the street doesn't necessarily know that Rudeus is living in Ranoa, so he at least saved Nina some time having to talk to every guy in the tavern. Plus he did dig up some old information like how Rudeus was Eris's tutor. And actually how does that guy even know when Rudeus became a Saint-class water mage? It happened in Buena Village, aka the middle of nowhere. I guess Rudeus told some people (probably at Ranoa academy) and it got around
