I was discussing dungeon mechanics with Lugwy, and we ended up talking about dungeons and how the hirelings work or not, and how useful it would be to have a summonable distraction.
My suggestion was the Noisemaker grenade - using normal grenade rules, have a little summoned immobile object on impact with high dodge, low armor, and very low HP (Being small and thus hard to hit solidly, but ultimately fragile). Possibly use some variant of Taunt on the nearest opponent(s) within range.
The purpose being to draw the attention of mobs to a specific location, and to provide a fleeting distraction for tactical utility.
If we want to get really complicated, possibly give any affected mobs a detection buff afterwards, to represent being extra wary.
