# formation_get_formation

Returns the full formation record for a formation_id: company name, entity type, state, business address, registered agent, share structure, shareholders, authorized party, EIN, certificate data, payment and filing status, and timestamps. Use this to answer specific questions such as the user's EIN, registered agent, company address, or shareholders, and to RESUME an in-progress formation with a formation_id you already have — it works both before and after sign-in (do not start a new formation to resume).

## Why formation_get_formation is rated Low

Even though formation_get_formation only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

AI agents call formation_get_formation to retrieve information from Lovie Company Formation MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Lovie Company Formation MCP:

```json
