In 2e6f2e8, we added a main function to the publish_toolstate.py script.
Unfortunately, we missed that the Python program implicitly declares global
variables in that code, which means that adding a function changes variable
scoping and breaks other code.
This commit avoids introducing that function and adds a warning to future
editors of the code.
