Description

We want to run performance tests through the ToolHive proxy. However, because Yardstick simply echoes back a response, there are no external network calls, resulting in the fastest possible response times. To better simulate real-world conditions, we should add a configurable delay mechanism that callers can specify and that Yardstick will honour by waiting a defined amount of time before responding. This would more accurately model a production MCP server, which may take several seconds to return a response.

Research direction

Start by locating Yardstick's MCP request and response entry point and determine how callers could provide a response delay. Confirm the expected delay behavior for requests sent through the ToolHive proxy, then verify that Yardstick waits for the requested duration before responding without changing requests that omit it.
