I believe you will need to figure out the pid of the tool and kill it

And there is also no easy way to figure out the PID, although it is
returned by the fork() inside Security.framework... WAIT! Perhaps it
isn't even there, perhaps it's in AuthorizationTrampoline. Goddamnit,
Security.framework sucks. Will someone please fix it?
