Yep that's likely to be the issue.

Yes. Actually in delete_tool() you call g_free() on the tool, but
although the idea is correct (freeing the memory) you *MUST* use
g_slice_free() to free memory allocated with g_slice_{alloc,new}().
GSlice is a separate allocator, so you can't use g_free() on memory you
allocated with it.
You should probably add a new function next to new_tool() (e.g.
free_tool()) that deals with freeing the memory for that tool, just the
opposite of new_tool().
Also, you should always allocate the memory for the tool->name, and
always free it before setting it. Here you have a leak in on_change():
g_strdup() allocate a copy of the string, but you don't free the old
one. And you can only free the old one if it was allocated, so you need
to make sure you always allocate it (e.g. in new_tool() you set
tool->name = g_strdup(_("New tool"))), and in free_tool() you
g_free(tool->name). And of course in on_change(), you g_free()
tool->name before setting it to the new value.
