Get exact connection count

Returns the connected account's EXACT total connection count via LinkedIn's connectionsSummary endpoint — the real number, not the "500+" value LinkedIn shows on profiles. This reflects the authenticated account's own connections (select which connected account with `accountId`); it cannot return another member's connection count.
