Slicing would be cutting the vegetables cross-wise. Here you are peeling off the skin (or scales in the case of asparagus) along their length.
Note from asker:
Mit solchen Schälwerkzeugen sind vor allem ziehende Bewegungen an länglichen Gemüsearten, wie insbesondere Spargel oder Gurken möglich. This is the text that I have. Given that, do I take it as slicing?

slicing tool

Schälen is slicing or peeling. It's hard to be sure about "tool" for Werkzeug without knowing more about this equipment.
