CrAgTe2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Cr(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), three equivalent Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form distorted CrAgTe6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Te(1)Cr3Ag tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent Cr(1)AgTe6 octahedra. Ag(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Cr(1), one Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cr(1) and one Ag(1) atom to form distorted TeCr3Ag tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Cr(1)AgTe6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)Cr3Ag tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cr(1) and three equivalent Ag(1) atoms.
