A method determines a presence of a motor-driven tool inside a tool position region and/or a tool position of the tool. A transmitter is mechanically connected to the tool, wherein the transmitter wirelessly transmits a signal. The transmitted signal is attenuated by the tool and has an item of transmitter information for taking the attenuation into account. The method has the steps of: capturing a respective reception signal strength value of the transmitted signal at receivers, wherein the receivers are arranged at different receiver positions; and determining the presence of the tool inside the tool position region and/or the tool position of the tool on the basis of the captured reception signal strength values and the received transmitter information for taking the attenuation into account.
