Depends on what you mean by “access”: You can’t use the ones for the existing tools (though I think you can trigger them for the existing tools if you need that), but you _can_ write your own. You do this by [registering actions](https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/modules/tiled.html#registerAction), and then [listing those as the toolbar actions](https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/interfaces/Tool.html#toolBarActions) for your tool.

You can even use the existing icons by setting the icon to `":path-to-icon"` (note the leading `:`), e.g. `":images/32/flip-horizontal.png"`. You can browse the images that come with Tiled, and which you can reuse, [here](https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/tree/master/src/tiled/resources/images).

Thanks. I figured that was the case when I looked through the documentation. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Doubt I need it that much anyway.
