In interviews, they expect you to go beyond just naming the tools you used. How deeply can you talk about the actual work you did—your approach, decision-making, and the impact you created?
Can you explain how you used those tools to solve a problem or hit a specific goal? What more (details) could you share to really show the value you brought?

Understanding and being able to explain how you got stakeholders on board, understanding the impact of the work and if possible potential down funnel impact and other choices that were opened by the work. This shows that you understand and think about the bigger more long term impact of your work not just the ticket infront of you

Many companies expect you to stick to interview frameworks like STAR. For product, I care less about the tools and more about the storytelling of how you identified the issue and the steps you did to solve it and the outcomes you delivered. If the tool is a critical part of your success, then include it.

For example, if you were part of a buy vs build decision or your team used a tool that unlocked efficiencies for your users or team.
