When you mean be “Tool’s default animation”, do you mean by changing the player’s idle animation when they are holding a tool?

Yep, normally it is just them holding out the tool, I want to change that. Also I need it so Every tool can have their own animation.

It’s quite simple actually! There are multiple ways to do that although I do it like this:

  1. Insert a tool.
  2. Insert a local script and an animation inside.
  3. Write the following:
local Tool = script.Parent
local Anim = Tool:WaitForChild("Anim") --The animation inside of your tool. if the animation has a different name, replace Anim with the anim's name
--//Plr and Hum
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Hum = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
--//Func
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local IdleAnim = Hum:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(Anim)
	IdleAnim:Play()
	
	Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		IdleAnim:Stop()
	end)
end)

Not going to lie however, this might be bad practice but it still works overall.

Will the animation not have to be lopped? Edit: And if it is how do I stop it properly because ik looped animation dont stop properly sometimes.

  1. No, the idle animation for the tool has to be looped.
  2. The script I provided should always stop the looped animation.
