What is the body? Let me rehearse an answer: the body is the instrument through which the mind interacts with the environment. If the brain controls it, it is part of the body.
Off course, if this definition holds any truth, any tool you wielded would be (albeit temporarily) a body part. The pen you’re holding, the iPhone you’re using, the surfboard you’re riding, yes, even the toilet you’re flushing.
And before you object, read this article in the newscientist.com
