# equity_onboarding_start

Opens a company's proof-of-formation intake so its cap table can be set up. Idempotent: a company has at most one open intake, and calling again returns the existing one rather than splitting the answers across two records. Safe to call first when you do not know whether an intake exists.

## Why equity_onboarding_start is rated High

equity_onboarding_start triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

## Use case

AI agents invoke equity_onboarding_start to trigger actions in Lovie Company Formation MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
