Tool definitions:
a piece of equipment that you use with your hands to make or repair something
OR

OR
(offensive) a penis. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tool
So "Famous tools" could mean:

For each show, two celebrity guests join each of the team captains. The teams compete as each player reveals unusual facts and embarrassing personal tales for the evaluation of the opposing team. Some of these are true, some are not, and it is the panellists' task to decide which is which.

In all rounds, the scoring system is the same: teams gain a point for correctly guessing whether a statement is true or not, but if they guess incorrectly the opposing team gets a point.
