Usually credit goes to the people wielding the tools, not the tools themselves.

Usually there has never been a tool which performed the part relevant to getting any credit.

E.g. in the first famous computer assisted proof (of the four color theorem) the computer only executed the resulting calculations defined from the new logic, it did not have part in the work needed to show those calculations could answer the problem nor did it come up with the actual calculations to do.
