Normally toybox just has symlinks of the command names that point to the toybox binary file. If you actually install packages with commands that are in toybox then, depending on your package manager or whatever, it's likely to overwrite the symlink with the proper binary file for that command. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
