You can play an animation on the client or on the server, if you decide to play it on the client, it would be replicated to the server (everyone would be able to see the animation then), but i guess you want to make it inside a localscript since you wanna play the animation when you press left click on a tool.

Step 1:
Make an animation
Step 2:
Upload it to roblox and copy the animations asset id
Step 3:
Create an animation instance inside the ReplicatedStorage, call it how ever you want and paste the asset id into the AnimationId

Step 4:
Put a localscript into the tool you want to animate with this script:

-- / [ Instances ] \ --

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character

if not LocalPlayer.Character then
	LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	Character = LocalPlayer.Character
else
	Character = LocalPlayer.Character
end

local Animation = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animation --Path to your animation

local Tool = script.Parent --Path to your tool (tool instance)

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

-- / [ Functions ] \ --

local SlamAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)

-- / [ Values ] \ --

local debounce = true

-- / [ Main script ] \ --

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce then
		debounce = false
		--Do other stuff here
		SlamAnimation:Play()
		SlamAnimation.Stopped:Wait()
		debounce = true
	end
end)

I hope this were able to help you!
