Do items behave like storylets or cards?

Since i dont want to waste my new rat of glory... If i use a second chance, fail the 1st attempt, and say "perhaps not", can i repeat this again or the item gets "discarded"?

Yes, you can safely "perhaps not" out of a rat, I just did it.

But does the game treat the "sleeper agent" result as a rare success or as a rare failure? Because, if the game engines sees this as a rare success, then using a second chance won't trigger and you won't have a chance to "perhaps not" out of it.
EDIT: reading more closely, the warning text explicitly says that there's a chance that "on success" the rat will be a sleeper agent. Given this phrasing, I don't think that a second chance can protect from the possibility of this outcome.

The sleeper agent is a rare success not failure. The worry is the 150 Watchful check for 1-7 Searing Enigmas is quite high for non capped and others did not want to lose the item if they backed out of it on a second chance as some card options do. Exponential second chance rules needing more if you back out and try again still apply.
The sleeper agent is a (yes, I'm going there) whole other ball of Wax.

Like truthseeker said: I just used a second chance on my Rat of Glory, and got the sleeper agent rare "success".
Thankfully, it took only 4 out of 114 Mourning Candles...
