[Building Sakai] In which sakai table names of available tools are stored

[Matthew Jones]

Like Steve said, all tool registration is done dynamically, the only real
way to do this is using the ToolManager api

ToolManager.findTools(categories, null);

If you call it like this it will call return all tools not stealthed or
hidden, if the category is null it will return all tools, even hidden ones.
ToolManager.findTools(Collections.emptySet(), null);

http://www2.caret.cam.ac.uk/sakaikernel/apidocs/org/sakaiproject/tool/api/ToolManager.html#findTools(java.util.Set,
java.util.Set)

If you run something like this in your tomcat webapps folder,  you should
be able to start to filter out the tool ids that could be available.
find . -name "*.xml" -path "*tools*" | xargs grep -h "tool id"
You'd probably want to clean that up with a regex for *tool id="(.*?)"*though.
