The toolserver allows propietary tools. This is required by some users and should thus be considered a toolserver feature (“i wrote code at work for my company and reuse parts for my bot framework. I have not the right to declare this code as open source which is needed by labs policy.” [1]). Given that it has been stated from WMF side that closed-apps won't be supported, it seems impossible that “the features of the toolserver exists in WikiLabs”.
