Remarks
A tool item represents either a single actionable command (leaf)
or a container that owns one or more child commands (parent/branch).
Tool items are returned by IExternalDataManagerServer.getContentTools and
are used to populate the context-sensitive content tools panel or right-click menus.
A typical workflow is:
1. The server constructs a tool item providing the id of the root command.
2. If the root command has sub-commands the server fills ChildCommandIds
with the ids of those sub-commands.
3. Revit uses the ids to look-up command metadata in ExternalDataManagerCommand
and builds the appropriate UI.
All user-visible strings associated with commands (name, tooltip) should be
localized by the server.
