If someone shows you how to take a stick and a stone and make a hammer, and you imitate, you're certainly not 'pushing the envelope of tooling development', but you're still making a tool.
As the most prevalent & familiar here modern example, I'd suggest writing to .bashrc & using ssh-keygen are 'making tools' in the relevant sense.
