Part of the reason why the tool labs was constructed the way it was
(sanitized logs, NDA required to be root) is exactly for that reason;
geohack is a salient example that already does something similar.

So yes, it is perfectly allowable to do so - not for labs in general but
for tools project.

The only thing you cannot do is embed a tool on a page implicitly (like
in an iframe and such) but that's for pragmatic technical reasons:  labs
does not scale to the same level the projects do.  So long as hitting
tool labs requires the user to make a positive action (like follow a
lick, or click a button) then you're golden.
