I think that's a great idea that certainly keeps in line with the 4e Dark Sun envisioning of the class, and I would absolutely encourage you to make it work if it was a thing you'd like to work into your own campaign! I kind of just put these ideas up as an actual "guide"-guide, rather than a full, standalone module kit or what-have-you. Feel free to make changes in however you choose to implement the class, or reach out if you'd like help making your particular vision mechanically implementable - I'd love to help!

I would say that's absolutely one key function of courtly bards in Athas, for sure, though, but there are wandering minstrel/troubadour sorts as well, no less interested in trafficking in unseemly circles and smuggling and all that good stuff, but perhaps not as skilled in the actual poisoner's arts. But as I said - very well could be!
