Ok, just answering my own question ;) I found a solution, here it goes (also 
attached):

import logging
log = logging.getLogger( __name__ )


def restrict_prims_metabolomics( context, tool ):
    """
    This tool filter will hide MsClust for non-metabolomics users. This can be
    enabled by adding the following to the
     ``app:main`` section of ``universe_wsgi.ini``::

        tool_filters = primsfilters:restrict_prims_metabolomics
    """
    # for debugging: import pydevd;pydevd.settrace("L0136815.wurnet.nl")
    user = context.trans.user
    metabolomics_tools = [ "MsClust", "textutil", "filter" ]
    if tool.name in metabolomics_tools:
        # logging.warn( 'FILTER MATCHED: %s' %(tool.name))

        for user_role in user.roles:
            if user_role.role.name == "PRIMS_METABOLOMICS":
                return True
        # not found to have the role, return false:
        return False
    else:
        # return true for any other tool
        return True

Subject: [galaxy-dev] Toolbox filtering question

Hi,

I would like specify a filter based on a role. Does someone know how to do 
this? I already have an example on how to do this based on user id (found at 
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/UserDefinedToolboxFilters#For_Administrators) 
but now I would like to filter out menu items in case users don't have a 
specific role.

Thanks and regards,
