Tools are at the very core of ToolKeeper—it's right there in the name! This section covers everything you need to know about managing tools within the ToolKeeper system, where each tool is treated as a unique, serialized object.

ToolKeeper includes several optional fields to help you organize and search for tools efficiently. Every field is searchable, enabling you to locate tools based on various characteristics. Here’s an overview of each field:
Unique identifier for the tool's make and type.
Optional short description (max 128 characters) for unique attributes.
Optional name of the tool's maker or brand.
Tool's current employee, vehicle, or job assignment.
Tool’s type or classification as created by the user/admin for easy filtering.
Optional physical attributes, like length or weight.
