To upgrade tools in Assassin's Creed: Mirage, you will need to speak to Abu Jafar (a.k.a. Ibn Musa) at the Assassin Bureau.

This will also be locked off for the first couple of hours, as you need to start the Jailbreak mission first. Once you get this though, Abu Jafar will set up shop and give you the ability to upgrade tools.

All tools can be upgraded in three tiers, with each one requiring progressively more Steel Ingots, Leather, and Components. When you upgrade to a new tier, you can also select a passive perk to add to the tool. These can be swapped out at any time when upgrading, so it doesn't matter what you initially pick.
