If there is one consistent theme in the series, is that everyone and their grandma is a tool by someone or something.

The Boss: Became a tool when she accepted to be killed for her country while deemed a traitor of it. But at least she did acknowledge it and tried to talk sense into Jack about it.

Big Boss: As Naked Snake he was a tool of the US so to kill the Boss and acquire the Philospher's Legacy, which he then lost to EVA. As Vic Boss he was a tool of Galvez and in a sense, of Kaz too as Miller knew everything but kept him in the dark. He ultimately became a tool of his Vision of The Boss' World, through which he descended into evil and wanted to create perpetual war.

Venom Snake: A tool of Big Boss created by Zero, all his purpose was, was to divert attention from the real Big Boss and keeping the Legend alive, and while he did accept it upon revelation, he was still used to divert attention and ended up being killed by Solid Snake.

Liquid Snake: Became a tool after it was revealed that Ocelot basically used him to get the data of REX and to see whether or not he could match up against Solid Snake.

Psycho Mantis: As a child he was a tool of pretty much everyone's lust for revenge, Volgin's revenge cause Mantis to awaken him and use that to exact his revenge, from Venom Snake he created the firey whale that engulfed the helicopters, from Skull Face he controlled Volgin and Sahelanthropus, and from Eli to control Sahelanthropus. One can even argue that this is what caused his own downfall when he slipped to deep into the mind of a killer.

Foxhound: Pretty much used in the same manner as Liquid Snake, they were none the wiser about Foxdie either which would have killed them had Solid Snake not killed them first.

Solid Snake: Probably an even bigger tool then his father was, used by the US Government to take out Foxhound due to Foxdie, used by Ocelot and the Patriots to create the whole Tanker incident, used by the Patriots again in a form of self defence to take down Liquid Ocelot, as well as being used by Liquid Ocelot to take out the Patriots.

Raiden: Used by the Patriots to take out Dead Cell and Solidus as part of the S3 program, As well as being used by Solid Snake in order to gain entry into Arsenal Gear.

Dead Cell: Chosen by the Patriots to resemble Foxhound as part of the S3 program.

Meryl and Rat Patrol Team 01: Chosen by the Patriots to aid Solid Snake and take down the Patriots.

I may have left out a few, but one thing is clear, a lot of people ended up being used as tools by other organisations and other people.
