Hello,
So I might not have understood how the licensing for Houdini works.
I have a license for Houdini Core, and have imported the Unity Engine package into our project.
I made tools that unfortunatly other members of our team can't use - do they really need a Houdini Core license as well? I mean, it's not like they will actually use the software, they just need to use the tools that i've been making. How does this work ?

Have you gone over the licensing FAQ? https://www.sidefx.com/faq/houdini-engine-faq/ [www.sidefx.com]
Your other team members will need a commercial license to use your custom made tools. But note that if they just need to work with your tools (and not Houdini itself), they don't need a full Core license, but rather can use a Houdine Engine commercial license. The reason that a commercial license (Houdini or Houdini Engine) is needed is because when working with HDAs that you created, it is actually running the Houdini software under the hood.

Okay thank you for the clarification !
