I am using buildroot to create a custom os for my raspberry pi. I would like to use the vcgencmd command, but I am unable to find the package that includes these tools. I have tried searching the internet and found that it could be part of VideoCore (which I also cannot find), raspberrypi-firmware (also not present).

So my question is: how to I include the vcgencmd tools in a custom build? What is the package name?

The current version of buildroot provides this under a slightly different name. Under xconfig or menuconfig...

Target packages -> Hardware handling -> Firmware -> rpi-firmware

Looking inside the corresponding tarball, there is indeed a vcgencmd binary in there.

vcgencmd is included in libraspberrypi-bin.

All the Pi specific packages are in the Foundation's repository.

If you're running Raspbian you can find the apt source in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list Current contents (for Raspbian Stretch) is

deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui
