I want to build a set of applications that act as an integrated set

Yes.
Chances are that you would want the "tools" to be console which would
require the Pro version of REALbasic to compile. You could also
compile these "tools" as Service apps which could run when the
computer boots and does not require a user to be logged in to run.
To pass data between different RB apps, you could use the IPCSocket
which is similar to the TCPSocket except for local connections only.
For smaller amounts of data, you could return values from the command
prompt (formatted in Base64 for binary data).
