The "default tool" is the name of the program to run when this icon is
double-clicked.  If you look at the icon generated by Deluxe-Paint for
high-res Dpaint files, it shows "ILBM" and "interlace" in the tool types.
(You have to press the down-arrow on tool-types gadget to see them both.)

This information is documentation is described in Chapter 18 "Workbench"
in the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual: Libraries and Devices.

It is passed to the program as a "startup message" when the program is
invoked from the Workbench.  The current startup routines (supplied with
the C compilers) will set "argc" to zero and set "argv" to point to the
Workbench startup message before calling "main(argc,argv)".
