Pump, patch kit, tire levers, minimal tool (Topeak Mini 6). But more important are very puncture resistant tires (T-Serv).
Tiny Swiss Army Knife and LED light on my keychain.
Not bike or commute specific: First aid essentials raided from the work first aid box, a couple of feet of duct tape rolled up, sewing kit (from a hotel).

Tools: stuff for basic maintenance and repair is super cheap. I frequently use one of these instead of bothering to pull out pricier tools. Like, I have Snap-On ratchets and sockets and stuff...and I barely use them on my bike. $10 tool takes care of 90% of stuff. Small tools are also good as a torque limiter, so it's less likely you can accidentally gorilla something to death.
A separate set of metric allen keys (like 2-8mm) is nice and sometimes will reach where a multitool won't. A cheap bit set (little plastic box with all the small-to-mid torx and allen sizes) is also handy. The ones that are like $10 at Harbor Freight work fine.
So that's, like...$20-30 to pretty much cover everything. For specialty tools, buy or borrow as needed. You may go years without ever needing to use a chain whip and a cassette tool, or other such specific stuff.
Now, as to your actual issue: what symptom are you experiencing? We can probably help you troubleshoot your brakes. Worst case, they need a bleed (may need a kit for that...$10-20 typically) or you need to replace a caliper or lever. On an older and/or entry-level bike, that typically just means replacing the set. Luckily, entry-level hydro brakes from Shimano are cheap. M315's are like $50 for both brakes, and they're pre-bled. Not great brakes, but they work. For a little more (like 100 a set), you can get all the braking power that bike will ever need.
