The CIA tried to kill Castro a lot of different ways.

They weren't very good at it though.

Honestly you could probably do several series of roadrunner cartoons with Castro and the CIA as Wile E Coyote.

Do they have free reign to do anything they want? Is there no higher authority or groups that keep them accountable?

"Accountable" implies the ruling class disagree with their actions. The CIA's destruction of democracy and sovereignty in Latin America is both approved and encouraged by the USA's business interests. The CIA works as intended.

they encourage them

the CIA has gotten involved in every other country, they have no business being there but they do it anyway
they destroy the lives of countless people in the guise of "protecting democracy"

and "protecting u.s interests"

Not the entire world. They do save our asses in ways that won't be released for decades to come, if the 1960s releases are anything to go by.

I've always been curious about who had more failed assassination attempts. CIA vs Castro or Soviet Union vs Tito?

Kennedy's reluctance to do more in Cuba is possibly a reason he was killed. The mob used to have casinos down in Cuba, but they were kicked out and the casinos were nationalized and/or shut down when Castro came to power. The mafia helped get Kennedy elected (by connections through Joseph Kennedy, a former bootlegger and partner of the mob) and they were probably expecting JFK to take care of the Castro problem so they could get their casinos back. At least that's one of the many, many conspiracies, but that one is more believable than many because there's even more to it than just that.

There's also a funny comedy based on real attempts by the CIA to kill him, like slipping LSD in his water before a big speech
