Using them makes sense because it's a win-win. If the succeed, that's a win. If they die, that's a win.
Maybe the Archive puts no limits on the host other than the limits that knowing and understanding the truth puts on anyone.

I don't think that is true because Kincaid told Harry that
--- Quote ---"When she says she can't tell you, she is being literal. She physically cannot let such information leave her head."

So unless someone is lying, giving Harry the little information she did was not easy.
--- Quote ---We have seen this before. Lea, the mothers, ....
They all wanted to help Harry at some point and they couldn't because of their nature. Riddles and unclear conversation are the answer to that and as pythia the archive had a lot of experience in that way of giving information.
Using that loophole is what they do.

I think it is a bit different, simply because not telling Harry isn't part of human Ivy's nature, however if not it's nature it is the rules the Archive lives by.

Ivy is lying. Jim Butcher said so.

I read what Jim said, and it seemed pretty vague to me.. It's called leaving his options open.

Ivy's network of assassins -- at least, the piece of it we see in Lara and Thomas -- seem to work on a basis of small "cells."
This gives the Archive plenty of scope to decide that one cell (or a subset of cells, such as all the ones with White Court members) is ready to be eliminated, and keep those cells all mushroom-y until said elimination is ready to happen in one fell swoop...
