- URL: `https://beta.getsales.io/signals/v1/api/profile-view-sightings/search`
- Auth: HTTP bearer and API key in header `Team-SID`

Who looked at the team's sender profiles' LinkedIn profiles (read once a day per sender profile), newest first: known people (person_sid) and anonymous rows, with LinkedIn's words and the view count. Scope with sender_profile_sid and a last_seen_at or first_seen_at window; page_size 0 for the counts by is_anonymous and by sender profile. One person: search_people with the signal viewed_our_profile. A view is private context: it decides when to write, the lead is never told we know.

Contract:
- MCP tool `search_profile_view_sightings`, registry package `mcp.signals/profile_view_sightings`, mount `signals.visits`.
- Operation `search`, response envelope `search`.
- Flags: read only.
