The shield counter on Agent's Toolkit won't prevent its controller from sacrificing it.
wotc
If Agent's Toolkit somehow ends up with counters on it other than the ones it entered with, those may also be moved from it by its triggered ability.
wotc
“Shield” is not an ability that creatures have and shield counters are not keyword counters. If a creature with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal.
wotc
Removing a shield counter in this way isn't the same as regenerating a creature.
wotc
A creature with a shield counter on it may still be destroyed by state-based actions if it has damage marked on it equal to its toughness or has been dealt unpreventable damage by a source with deathtouch.
