It can be an adjective, and it can also be a verb.

You have a tired look on your face.

That was a tired joke.

He was tired

That class exercise tired me.

The tired joke and the tired look are adjectives, specifically they are past participles modifying nouns.

The last one is an intransitive verb.

Yes it can be ("a tiring exercise in futility").

The word tiring is the present participle of the verb (to tire). It can be a verb form, but it is seldom used in the active voice as a noun.
