Answer 1

You want to use remove menu page.

<?php
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wpse26980_remove_tools', 99 );
function wpse26980_remove_tools()
{
    remove_menu_page( 'tools.php' );
}

You can drop that in your functions.php file (without the opening <?php most likely).

That's not going to prevent people from typing in yoursite.com/wp-admin/tools.php and seeing the tools page, however.

The following code removes menus, place in your theme functions.php file:

// Remove unneeded menus
function sc_remove_menus()
{
    // setup the global menu variable
    global $menu;
    // this is an array of the menu item names we wish to remove
    $restricted = array( __('Links'),__('Tools'),__('Comments'), __('Media'));
    end ($menu);
    while (prev($menu))
    {
        $value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
        if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted))
        {
            unset($menu[key($menu)]);
        }
    }
}
// hook into the action that creates the menu
add_action('admin_menu', 'sc_remove_menus');

If you just want to remove just tools then change this line:

$restricted = array( __('Links'),__('Tools'),__('Comments'), __('Media'));

to:

$restricted = array(__('Tools'));

This will only remove the menu item. You can still get to tools by typing in the URL manually.
