Orchestrate test runs within VS Code Copilot

Start and stop your load tests using `start_test_run` and `stop_test_run` without leaving your IDE. It makes performance testing a shared team responsibility rather than a manual chore. List all available tests with `list_tests` so every developer knows which scenarios are ready for testing. It brings visibility to your entire performance suite.

Sync performance thresholds across your team

Use `get_run_thresholds` to ensure everyone is hitting the same quality bar before merging code. It catches performance regressions early in the development cycle. Verify project health by using `list_projects` to organize your tests. This helps your team keep track of performance requirements for different microservices.

Audit system performance with VS Code Copilot

Pull raw performance metrics using `get_run_metrics` during your code reviews. It gives your team hard data to support or reject a pull request based on real load results. Check organization-wide performance using `list_organizations` to see how your test volume is trending. You gain clear insight into how your infrastructure handles stress.
