So that means open-sourcing it would be a bad decision, despite my personal wishes. The suspicion part is very difficult to understand: if they just suspect I am infringing, can they sue and force me to disclose the tools?

The suspicion part is very difficult to understand: if they just suspect I am infringing, can they sue and force me to disclose the tools? It depends, and you should consult a qualified attorney if you really need to know. That said, the US in particular has very broad disclosure rules. I don't think it would be much of a stretch to say that the vast majority of evidence used in civil cases is obtained via disclosure after the lawsuit in question has been filed.
