there is no module for symbolic links.
You want to use the file resource type instead:

file { ‘/usr/tools’:
ensure => link,
target => ‘/usr/local/tools’,
}

Here we are linking the directory to the file  and  may give the error. so we have to use force option.

file { '/usr/local/tools':
    ensure => 'link',
    target => '/usr/tools',
    force => true,
  }
