How do I disable the ability to pick up tools when you walk over them?

I’ve created a response for a topic similar to this but in regards to accessories. Follow its principles (as in, just change accessory to tool) and you should be set.

Disable Accessory Auto Equip

Yes, it is possible to do this. Internally, the engine creates a TouchInterest object in a loose accessory’s handle which allows it to be worn when you touch it. Simply remove the TouchInterest object from the accessory’s handle and you won’t be able to wear it by touching it.
