Hi! I honestly don't get why the icon couldn't be always visible.

There is no space gain in hiding it, since it's needed to avoid the text jumping, and it would give context to the user to understand what those options are for.

@Alessio Monti di Sopra (a.monti) hi, the reason was that there is no need for the icon when the tools are visible, since the active tool is marked as active.

Well, ok, but to me it still seems quite a random thing to do.
I mean, I see no gain in hiding the icon, and the blank space looks a bit strange.
