My opinion, not from the UK so it’s worth little, is that this is all that should be needed.
“What’s that? What’s it for?” … “Ok, we got a call from a concerned citizen who thought it was a knife. Have a good day!”
Maybe they could throw in a polite, friendly suggestion that they use a bag to transport their tools but its not like it’s required, if I’m understanding correctly.
