outlier opinion tangent: Tools which are accessed primarily via menu, and operate through a pop-up dialog box instead of on-canvas interaction, should not even be using the tools class. It is counter-intuitive to the new user that any dialog box -based operation has lingering side effects on their session after the operation has concluded. (compare plug-ins and scripts)
Agreed -- I've struggled to understand why e.g. Brightness/Contrast, which has no tool options anyway, opens a "tool options" mode in the tool box just so one can repeat it by clicking on the canvas. Doesn't seem useful, and is obviously confusing to new users. Perhaps it should follow the settings in prefs -> Interface -> Toolbox -> Tools Configuration.
