Right now let's get this into perspective.
For examining a city a spy is not needed, just an embassy. This is cheaper and more useful than a spy. It helps to find out when that wonder will be complete, or how many troops are in the city etc.
I can honestly say that I have yet to succeed in making any use of spying without creating some sort of side effect. The side effect often nullifies the gain. The usual result is war, and usually after 1 attempt not 20. The expense of spying is prohibitive given the results, pay loads of money to see spy arrested and war started.
