Toxic backlinks are the unnatural links that can harm the search rankings of your website. I would suggest to make a list of those links and disavow them through your search console or if you have control over those backlinks just delete them from those websites.

Google don't encourage using the Disavow tool. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-disavow-tool/289871/#close
I've noticed tools like SEMrush keep alerting users that they have a lot of 'toxic' links but you shouldn't just go and blanket disavow a whole bunch of these links just because a tool said so. Google knows which are the spammy links.
