integrability properties of (2,0)-tensors

Given a regular (constant rank) bi-vector $\Pi \in \Gamma(\bigwedge^2TM)$ on a smooth manifold $M$ the necessary and sufficient condition for the image of $\Pi^\sharp:T^*M\to TM$ to be an integrable distribution is that $\Pi$ is a twisted Poisson tensor with respect to a closed 3-form $\phi$, i.e. there exist a closed 3-form $\phi$ such that $$[\Pi,\Pi]=\Pi^\sharp(\phi)$$ (see e.g. arXiv:1104.0880).

What is the corresponding condition for a degenerate regular symmetric (2,0)-tensor (a degenerate metric) $g\in \Gamma(S^2TM)$ to produce an integrable distribution as the image of $g^\sharp:T^*M\to TM$?

And what about any regular (constant rank) tensor $T\in \Gamma(TM\otimes TM)$, with no special symmetry properties?
