No, but a sentient being notices that a broken rock has a useful sharp edge, and breaks more rocks to create more useful sharp edges, what we call tools.

All part of God's wonderful creation.

Did they use them to do something that couldn’t be done (or was much harder) without them? Then yes. That’s all a tool is, it’s an object not directly a part of a task makes the task possible or easier.
