Is it possible to return $count or $nextLink with function / action in CAP Java Odata service?

Question

I have an OData service endpoint built with CAP Java that returns an array of objects. And because there is special data handling (filter for the last day/hour) the data is returned by a function. However, a consumer of this endpoint (SAC) is having problem because it requires $count for the returned array, which is absent in the response (no @count or @nextLink fields). Therefore, the question is whether it is possible to add @count and @nextLink into a response returned by a function in CAP Java?

I simulates the query from the tool: https://myhost/odata/v4/MonitoringService/dailyTaskCreateCommandsWithLifeCycles()?$count=true

And I got this error response

{
    "error": {
        "code": "50008010",
        "message": "The query result misses a value for $count"
    }
}

200 response of this endpoint https://myhost/odata/v4/MonitoringService/dailyTaskCreateCommandsWithLifeCycles() as follows:
