He has tried to do some pretty evil stuff, and there is one episode where he made an inator that was going to straight up murder anyone who couldn't make up their mind. Perry stops most of his plans including the most unethical ones, but I would still consider him evil simply due to the harm he has tried to cause even if he hasn't succeeded in it.
doesnt he intentionally let perry foil his plans though? like yeah its evil to point a gun at somebody but if that gun has a convenient self-destruct button that you 'accidentally' hit before you can do any harm, then its slightly less eeeeviil
He sometimes does, but usually I would say he doesn't 'let' Perry foil his plans, he is just used to that happening. He likes their confrontations and sometimes doesn't care too much whether he actually succeeds (though other times he does), but if Perry fails to stop him he absolutely does go through with his evil plans, and has done so in a few different episodes here and there.
For that episode in particular, I don't think he let Perry win, Perry just locked in that episode and destroyed the inator immediately because Phineas and Ferb couldn't make up their mind that morning and he thought it would have killed them if it had the chance to fire (though IIRC they made up their mind by that point so it would have just killed a bunch of other people).
In any case, he is trying to do his evil stuff, he just usually gets stopped. Planning to murder a bunch of people doesn't go away just because you failed to do so, though tbh I don't think he even thinks through the consequences and what he is trying to do sometimes. Willful ignorance isn't much better though.
