+    .. dropdown:: enable_vcr_tests
+
+        Property controlling whether to enable select tests that rely on
+        `VCR <https://vcrpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ caching of HTTP calls, such
+        as benchmarking tests.
+
+        To enable these tests, follow these steps:
+
+        1. Override the ``enable_vcr_tests`` property to return ``True``:
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+
+                @property
+                def enable_vcr_tests(self) -> bool:
+                    return True
+        
+        2. Configure VCR to exclude sensitive headers and other information from VCR
+        cassettes.
+
+            .. warning:: Excluding secrets from VCR cassettes.
+            VCR will by default record authentication headers and other sensitive
+            information in cassettes. Read below for how to configure what information
+            is recorded in cassettes.
+
+            To add configuration to VCR, add a ``conftest.py`` file to the ``tests/``
+            directory and implement the ``vcr_config`` fixture there.
+            
+            ``langchain-tests`` excludes the headers ``"authorization"``,
+            ``"x-api-key"``, and ``"api-key"`` from VCR cassettes. To pick up this
+            configuration, you will need to add ``conftest.py`` as shown below. You can
+            also exclude additional headers, override the default exclusions, or apply
+            other customizations to the VCR configuration. See example below:
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+                :caption: tests/conftest.py
+
+                import pytest

+                    ("openai-organization", "PLACEHOLDER"),
+                    ("user-agent", "PLACEHOLDER"),
+                    ("x-openai-client-user-agent", "PLACEHOLDER"),

+                    # If desired, remove or modify headers in the response.
+                    response["headers"] = {}
+                    return response
+
+
+                @pytest.fixture(scope="session")
+                def vcr_config(_base_vcr_config: dict) -> dict:  # noqa: F811

+                    return config
+
+        3. Run the tests to generate VCR cassettes.
