there is only one tool and that is teh snap command ... it comes with
extensive help included, start with "snap help" and ten with 
"snap help <command>" to find details about each of the
features/commands ... 

some of the most important ones are:

snap list -> show all installed snaps
snap changes -> see snap related logs 

snap info <snapname> -> see details, bug URLs, info about the
publisher, size on disk, etc of a snap ...

snap revert -> force a rollback to the last known good version on disk
  (i.e. in case you dont like a new feature after upgrade of an app or
a bug was introduced)

snap save -> make backups of all user data of an app

the above is the typical set you might use for desktop apps, many
others of these commands may refer to or mainly be useful for non-
desktop apps though (snapped servers, snap-packaged kernels, shared
library snaps (that other snaps use) or bootloaders etc ...)
