I think the problem is that the above 'import' manages to use '/path/to/file/my-tool'
as the name of the module, not 'my-tool'. 

I think the easiest solution is to arrange your boost-build.jam to add /path/to/file
to the front of the BOOST_BUILD_PATH variable and then use:

        import my-tool ;
