cc-tool is used for interacting with Texas Instrument's Debugger and 
Programmer for RF System-on-Chips.
http://www.ti.com/tool/cc-debugger

The device is used for programming (and debugging) firmware on various 
TI Low Power RF System-on-Chips (based on 8051 microcontrolers).

I am using it for re-flashing such chips from ARM-based embedded devices 
(running Buildroot generated os) - so I put it under "tools for target" 
category.

TI chips do not have sufficient resources to run Linux on them, so 
adding cc-tool as a host tools in Buildroot does not make sense (in my 
opinion) - the tool has no use on Buildroot generated images.

Fixing this.
