<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/stats/get_contact_stats -->

Get detailed statistics specifically for contacts including breakdown by contact type. Returns: total contacts, new contacts this month, counts by type (vendor, attorney, lender, inspector, escrow_officer, title_rep, etc.). Use this for contact directory health checks or to see distribution of your professional network. More detailed than [`get_dashboard_stats`](/tools/stats/get_dashboard_stats) for contacts. For individual contact details, use [`contacts_list`](/tools/contacts/contacts_list) instead.

## Parameters

_This tool takes no parameters — just ask._

## Example prompts

- "Break down my contact directory by type, lenders, inspectors, title reps, all of it."
- "How many new contacts did I add this month, and what's the type distribution?"

## Safety

**Read-only.** This tool never changes your data — it only looks things up. Safe to run anytime.
