"...Are they not ALL ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" (Heb.1:14)
This "ministering" conveys a meaning of "liturgy" [the inspired word: 'leitourgikos'; of procedural protocol or public function]; of leading or guiding the "heir" into acts of kindness and charity -- as opposed to the meaning that "guardian" conveys, of protection from harm.
The Literal Bible says these "ministering spirits" are sent out for "...service because of those being about to inherit salvation".
This "service" they provide is "diakonia": "attendance (as a servant, etc.); figuratively, aid, (official) service..." (Strong's Definitions). Possibly conveying "relief" [something we all need from time to time].
For instance: "Then the Devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him." (Matt.4:11)
There is a tendency for some to think of "guardian" angels as some kind of "shield" from physical harm... which can be misleading as to the real function of "ministering spirits" [although they could feasibly minister to God's heir by "warning" or "guiding" them away from a potentially harmful situation.
An "archangel" is a "chief angel"... conveying administrative authority over other angels [and who knows what else?].
Yet, Hebrews 1:14 says: "...are they not ALL ministering spirits...". Which would lead us to believe that even the highest ranking angel is the servant or minister of something or someone.
But, "guardian angel" is still not a term used in the Bible.
