She can not do harm. She was a guest and I think the angels just know that. And the carpenters have the cobs living downstairs.

Oh she can always do harm, but perhaps not on Christmas Eve. Also there might be just enough humanity left in her that she can pass the threshold? They didn't apparently stop the Turtlenecks either, and while they are not totally human anymore, they still fit in that category and entered. It is indeed a weakness in the guardian angel defense.

Mab can not do harm in the carpenters house because she is a guest and a Side. It is hard coded in her nature, she simply can not. She can wait outside of course but that is different.
As explained Sidhe can pass a threshold and then they are bound by the rules of hospitality. That is how the brownies could clean Harry’s appartement. That is how Mab could fix little Chicago and enter the carpenters home. That is what was explained when Thomas insulted Cat Sith in cold days. Cat Sith popped up suddenly inside the threshold and because he was a guest he did not rip Thomas entrails out but started to educate him.
She is also not stupid enough to insult Uriel by doing such a thing but that is beside the point.
--- Quote --- Sith directed his eyes to Thomas and said, “While I am here, I am bound by the same traditions as would apply were I your invited guest,” he said. “I will offer no harm to anyone you have accepted into your home, nor take any action which would be considered untoward for a guest. I will report nothing of what I see and hear in this place, and make every effort to aid and assist your household and other guests while I remain.”

There is even more information there giving details. Mab came in without evil intent and was bound by the rules of hospitality. Another reason for her to bring a gift.

I doubt that her intent has anything to do with it, it is more about who she is. I say that because Mr Grey wouldn't enter the Carpenter yard for fear of the angel guard, even though at that point in time he had no evil intent. Or at least he didn't want to push it.

The point is that because she is Sidhe the angels can be sure she is not doing any harm as a guest. Her nature is simply different from Grey.
Mab can not pass the threshold with evil intent. That is not who she is. And that is why the angels let her in.
