Comment (by Clorith):

 So, what about expanding the terminology of "Tools" to make this page hold
 value for a wider array of users?

 As an author (or any users unable to install something), a tool for me
 might be knowledge of how to use something specific in WP-admin. Sure
 there's the help tab in the top right corner for some pages, but that
 doesn't exist in the editor (although it does have a link that takes you
 to a WordPress.org article), or in the customizer (the small question mark
 with a short text)? Could a tool for these users be something simple like
 a link to a few curated articles on WordPress.org, as a way to provide
 value to a page that may otherwise end up blank?

 In network admin, this could also exist to provide articles on managing a
 network.

 There are other things the tools section could do, like a curated list of
 plugins, for those with access to them, but I think that's a different
 ticket altogether.
