I understand tools can be built/used standalone (no dependence), while helpers are companion of another binary, thus dependent on it: - we can build tools without emulator - it is probably pointless to build an helper without its helpee - some binaries can't be use without helpers Maybe "companion" is a better candidate to describe?
