'answers' is the definition.
(to reply is to give an answer)

'the little agent doesn't tell the truth' is the wordplay.
'the little agent' becomes 'rep' (short for representative. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'doesn't tell the truth' becomes 'lies' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rep'+'lies'='REPLIES'

(Other definitions for replies that I've seen before include "Answers" , "Reacts verbally" , "Responds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
