      summary: Get Record Count in a Module
      description: 'Fetches the total number of records in a specified module.

        The count can be filtered using `cvid` (Custom View ID) or one of the search parameters (`criteria`, `phone`, `email`, `word`).


        **Important Constraint (Zoho Documentation):**

        You can only include **either** `cvid` **or** one of the search parameters (`criteria`, `phone`, `email`, `word`) in a single request. Combining `cvid` with any search parameter will result in an `AMBIGUITY_DURING_PROCESSING` error (HTTP 400).'
