OK, what if that label gets lost? What if the tool gets loose and shorts
out several pins or traces, doing damage to the machine the next time it
is powered up?

I think you might have come up with a great idea, don't put anything extra
into it at all :)
Since you have so many classic systems it's obvious it would make sense to
have the tools to work on them in your toolbox :)

previously suggested putting the correct size tool inside the box.
Wouldn't this also alter the historical fabric of the machine? After

Yes, I suppose it would. OK, if you've going to stick a tool inside the
machine, put a label on it saying this is not an original IBM part, it's
provided for the benefit of future repaires who are too brain-dead to buy
Bristol Spline keys :-)
