I don't think we actually know this for sure. Mab way well have named any number of emissaries for different tasks off screen that Harry is never aware of.

Counter-Counterpoint: There isn't any reason for Mab not to tell Harry this, if it were her belief.

It might be that Mab didn't want to prejudice Harry's judgment. Let's assume that Mab knows that it was the Denarians that actually grabbed Marcone, but she suspects that there's at least one more layer of authority behind them ordering the hit (other than Lucifer). Sure, Harry will figure out the Fallen involvement nearly immediately (obvious pentagram is obvious), but the fact that Mab asked him to investigate plus an easy answer staring him in the face should tip him off to look for more well-hidden hands.

There is that WoJ in the OP that the Gruffs attacked because Harry was the Emissary.
asetti:
Maybe the summer hit was a warning..."HEY HARRY PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ***. SOMETHINGS UP!
Agravaine:
Well, I am at a loss, given that WoJ.
Mab names Harry Emissary, Titania responds with the Gruffs (who attack Harry before Mab notifies him). Both of these events occur before Marcone is kidnapped and the crisis is created.
Any theory that doesn't account for this seeming discrepancy is likely doomed.
