Reimu is the secret police that takes cases the secret youkai in the village can't or don't handle themselves, mainly handling humans who show signs of exceptional skill and talent and are knowledgeable enough to uncover the actual nature of the village itself.
It's also clear that not even those who left the village are necessarily safe, as she is also keeping a close eye on Marisa, who severed her village connections long ago. Perhaps their entire 'friendship' is founded on her constant surveillance. >>20511865 is not wrong in saying a youkai Marisa would be powerful enough to rival or surpass even the strongest youkai and gods of Gensokyo, and obviously ruin the power balance itself.

Calling her a "youkai miko" is simply telling the truth. She's there to cull the humans should they try to leave the caste the youkai put them in, even if peacefully as the Fortune Teller wanted to do. She works to keep the status quo, and that status quo is youkai rule.
