Would it be possible for species to become sapient without using tools?

Set in a parallel universe, in a galaxy far far away, an Earth-like planet orbiting a yellow dwarf star with the mass of 1 solar mass. And yes, indeed that planet comes with a natural satellite that seems to be tidal locked but anyhow, could a specie, most probably mammalian would develop sapient intelligence through either evolutionary or selective pressure alone without inventing tools(physical object)? To qualify a sapient at least in my world is the ability to ask irrational questions on it's own... BTW a parrot named Alex tried to cheat but was took cared of.
