For a Cocoa application
[[NSBundle mainBundle] executablePath];

will return to path to the currently running executable.

Since there is no bundle for a foundation tool, what's the recommended approach.

A tool isn't bundled, but there is still an [NSBundle mainBundle]. A synthetic one is created so that there will always be a main bundle. The only exception would be if something went quite wrong, and e.g. NSBundle could not locate the executable.
