I think helpers is not a good word.  However, if an executable:

- can be started directly by QEMU, or is not useful without an emulator

- is usually too complex for a user to run manually

then it should be documented in docs/interop (not docs/tools).  Their 
sources however can be in tools/, that's not a problem at all.
