I think you're missing a word in there: it should be "coupled *with* the ability."
"Yet" here means something like "nonetheless" or "however."
"Of little consequence" means "not having a big effect" or "unimportant"
"Coupled with" means "paired with" or "accompanied by"
So, you could rewrite this as:
"However, toolmaking does not accomplish a lot unless it is paired with the ability to cooperate with many others." In other words, the ability to make tools is not very useful unless the toolmaker can also work with other people.
