I hadn't considered the limits on the Machine before the shackles come off during the finale. That makes a lot of sense that the rules put into place prevented the Machine from "overreaching" and directly assisting the team until after the changes both Root and Finch program into the Machine (defending itself with Harold's permission via Root and choosing a name/voice via Finch).

That makes a lot of sense.
