If I were the DM, I would say Jack of All Trades does count towards making you proficient in something (and thus able to provide help), but your DM might rule differently. It's his prerogative to do so. This edition's mantra is "Rulings, Not Rules" after all. Much of the language of the game is deliberately open to interpretation for this very reason.Tools require ability checks to use. Jack of All Trades lets you add half your proficiency bonus to *all* ability checks, including those made with tools.</blockquote>
