I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

This won't be abused at all...

How can it be abused and to what end? You can go to any (instanceurl)/instances to see what it's federated to.

A similar tool has existed for years and it is run by Kiwifarms with the primary purpose of ban evasion for trolling and harrassment campaigns.

You are lucky that you don't know. But people elsewhere in this thread have explained already.
