Morphology
toolkit + for + emergency + repair
The meaning 'a set of tools assembled for fixing urgent or unexpected problems' is directly and compositionally built from 'toolkit' (a set of tools) + 'for' (purpose) + 'emergency' (urgent situation) + 'repair' (fixing). This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common nominal phrase expressing purpose, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Toolkit for emergency repair comes from the simple picture of a small box of tools kept ready like a medicine kit; the toolkit is what you open, emergency means a sudden problem, and repair is fixing things, so it means 'a set of tools for fixing urgent or unexpected problems'.
