# cap_table_record_cap_table_investment

Records one holding end-to-end: resolves or creates the stakeholder, then creates the holding with all derived fields, attaching or auto-creating a round for SAFE/Preferred. SAFE requires a valuation_cap. VESTING: for service equity held by a founder, employee, or advisor (instrument_type COMMON_STOCK or OPTION — restricted stock and option grants that vest over time), you MUST set the vesting field { start_date, total_months, cliff_months }. Carry these values from ExtractCapTable output (vesting_start_date / vesting_total_months / vesting_cliff_months) when importing a cap table. If such a holding has no vesting schedule in the source, ASK the user for the vesting start date, total months (e.g. 48), and cliff months (e.g. 12) BEFORE calling this tool — do not omit vesting and do not silently record it as fully vested. OMIT vesting entirely for investor instruments (SAFE, PREFERRED_STOCK, CONVERTIBLE_NOTE) — they never vest. Returns the stakeholder, security, and round ids. The response carries the cap table before this call, what it added, and the cap table after — report an import in exactly that order (current table, new additions, final table) and take the totals from the response rather than reading the cap table again. For several SAFEs at once, list every one you are about to add and get a yes before the first call, not after the last. PARTY: pass stakeholder_id whenever the person or fund is ALREADY on the cap table — including one you created or recorded earlier in this same conversation, and one you just read from GetListCapTableStakeholders. Use new_stakeholder ONLY for a party that is not on the register yet. Re-sending a name you have already used adds a SECOND row for the same person: the twin holds no equity, so ownership views hide it while stakeholder counts include it, and the register then disagrees with itself. If you are not certain whether a party exists, call GetListCapTableStakeholders first and take the id from there. The response returns stakeholder_reused — when it is true, say the holding was added to the existing stakeholder, never that a new one was created.
