I've filed an enhancement request for this:

Here's the new link to issue 481 ported from bitbucket to trello,
https://trello.com/card/481-hiding-a-tool-via-tool-conf-xml/50686d0302dfa...
Given things have changed quite a bit with tool_conf.xml now
being combined with tools installed via the ToolShed, does this
suggestion still make sense? I'd still find it useful sometimes.
