KAY-O is different from other agents because they are neither a radiant nor human. KAYO is a humanoid robot. Kayo is apparently only the second agent which has not been leaked deliberately by Riot Games, the first was Yoru. So, the leaks might not be true even though the sources are trustworthy and the agent completely satisfies all the teasers Riot Games have revealed.
Valorant's 16th agent Kayo is an initiator
Kayo will join VP (Valorant Protocol) as an initiator along with Breach, Sova, and Skye. As Kayo is an initiator, its abilities would help open up a site. Valorant had previously teased Kayo's abilities, and the leaked images showcase the same thing.

Here's a better look at the knife!
Judging by the setup here, this may be the ability that disables other abilities.

As seen in the image above, Killjoy's turret and alarmbot have been disabled when they are in the range of Kayo's purple-ish ability, although Killjoy is still alive.
In other image, Kayo seems to be carrying something like a flashbang. Again, Riot devs had teased that the new agent would be more liked by traditional FPS players. So, flashbang could be the other ability of Kayo.
As other abilities are concerned, they are still unknown. However, as teased by Rioters, they are likely to be 'traditional' kind of abilities, like a smoke. The price and number of each of Kayo's abilities are still unknown.
