"Tool"

What does it mean to call somebody a tool?
I checked all available dictionaries but found no relevant result.
I heard the word in the movie "The Adjustment Bureau",
in which the male narrator called his political rival who's relatively conservative and old a tool.
What in the world is that supposed to mean?
