That depends on how the tool is implemented. Nobody cares what you use it for; what it does and what that (potentially) enables you to do is usually the deciding factor. I can't give you a concrete example because I'm not a judge and these kind of laws are way too vague anyway. We're obviously not talking about "traditional" methods here (hence the fun fact). Note that the problem is not you using a tool, it's you distributing a tool that can be used for ... well ... I don't know.
