It's called 'Text Template Transformation Toolkit' and you can use it to create classes out of a meta description (for example). EF uses it to create the classes (context and entity classes) out of the model. You can create your own template and have them run.
Custom tools let you associate a tool with an item in a project and run that tool whenever the file is saved. Certain custom tools, sometimes referred to as single-file generators, are frequently used to implement translators that generate code from data and vice versa.
Custom tools are geoprocessing workflows, such as models or scripts, that have been shared as a geoprocessing service to create a web tool. Custom tools can be added to supported apps, such as Map Viewer, and run from the Analysis pane.
