The Palantir in The Lord of the Rings was not initially a tool of evil, but taken by the traitor Saruman to communicate with Sauron. So, technically, you're both correct. No, It was taken by Saruman to use for his own purposes, scrying the lands independent of other Stones; inevitably however he was snared by Sauron, the stronger will. The same thing happened to Denethor.
