That's part of it -- although JARVIS has a generous array of options from subtle to weapons of mass destruction.

Yep. Once you're inside the building -- or even within reach of it -- JARVIS has the upper hand. Most people don't think of that.

Likely an option.

JARVIS watches everyone who crosses Tony's path; the more important or influential or dangerous they are, the closer the watch. So JARVIS knew plenty about Phil professionally, even before the personal stuff.
*chuckle* SHIELD folks forget how much of their hardware and software is Starktech and what that means.

Exactly. Phil would have been suspicious, Tony would have been pissed, it would have been a disaster all around. A little mutual subterfuge saved the day. JARVIS is very good at manipulating people ... and won't hesitate to take one for the team, too.
