`GET /v1/raiz/contacts/count`

Count the people `list_contacts` returns for the same filters (`q`, `channelType`, `agentId`, `handling`, `lastContactedAfter`), up to 10,000: `capped` then says at least that many match. Use it to answer how many people match instead of paging through the list.

- **Scopes:** any one of `raiz:contacts:read`, `raiz:contacts:write`
- **Credentials:** an API key, a client-credentials token or a person's access token
- **Effect:** read-only; safe to retry
- **Limits:** response up to 1 MB
- **CLI:** `arbol raiz contacts count` · **MCP tool:** `raiz_contacts_count`

## Authentication

Requires one of the following:

- `arbolHuman`, oauth2, scopes: `raiz:contacts:read`
- `arbolHuman`, oauth2, scopes: `raiz:contacts:write`
- `arbolMachine`, oauth2, scopes: `raiz:contacts:read`
- `arbolMachine`, oauth2, scopes: `raiz:contacts:write`
- `arbolApiKey`, http, header `Authorization`

## Query parameters

- `agentId` (`raiz.contacts.count.query.agentId`; string, optional) — People with a conversation with this Agent.
  - pattern `^agt_(?:[0-7][0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{25}|(?:[a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{12}|[a-f0-9]{32}))$`
- `channelType` (`raiz.contacts.count.query.channelType`; string, optional) — Comma-separated channel types: people with a conversation on one of them.
  - pattern `^(voice|whatsapp|web)(,(voice|whatsapp|web))*$`
- `handling` (`raiz.contacts.count.query.handling`; string, optional) — `ai`: people with a conversation the AI took part in. `team`: people whose conversations only the organization's people answered.
  - one of `"ai"`, `"team"`

  - format `date-time`
- `q` (`raiz.contacts.count.query.q`; string, optional) — Search by name (words in any order, ignoring accents and case), channel profile name, username, phone, email, identity document or contact id. Phone and document formatting is ignored; partial numbers match, including a phone without its country prefix. Searches saved identities, not people merely mentioned in messages.
