Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
That tool might be needed anymore since there was an issue with the new GSC and new domain property verification. Here’s a link for your reference:

Mueller refers to the fact that Google’s algorithm has a way of identifying bad links and ignoring them when it comes to determining where a page should rank.
However, disavowing a link in Google Search Console is always the last resort. So you shouldn’t disavow links indiscriminately. Like Google says, you could hurt your own SEO, and that’s not what you want. You can check this helpful article:

For identifying bad links, it would be best to use some third-party services like SEMRush that will analyze all the links you’ve extracted, and rate them according to specified criteria.
