Lol to tell you the truth, from memory, I have no idea what's in my under seat tool bag, ( havent had the seat off in a couple of years) but on trips, in my tail pack, I carry a tire repair kit with digital tire gauge, a mini led flashlight, and a baggie with maybe 4 oz of GN4 10w30 in a plastic bottle ( never needed) with a shop towel and a home made cardboard folded triangle funnel.
I'm not that mechanically inclined so I only carry tools to do the stuff I think I can do, which is plug a tire or add some oil if needed. I'm not pulling wheels or spark plugs, etc on the side of the road. Other than that I have a AAA card which can get me a 150 mile tow to either home if close enough, a hotel or a Honda dealer.
Bikes have been pretty reliable since I started touring in 1969, 42 states, 2 provinces of Canada and 5 countries in Europe and (knock on wood) I have never had a bike not complete a trip. My little brothers Moto Guzzi 850 Eldorado quit on us in Georgia one time in 1972 after riding in 6 hours of rain, but drying out the distributor cap got us back on the road again.
