Definitely does NOT fit in the toaster that way! :-)
As somebody who is firmly anti-toaster oven (they're an inferior toaster and a lousy oven), I'll admit that if you're hell-bent on slicing your bagels this way, you should get a toaster oven. Everyone else can find a better use for that counter space.
Read before attempting: https://newyorkerbagels.com/bagel-safety-dont-be-an-er-stati... Seriously. As any nurse about a "bagel injury" and they will know exactly what you are talking about. It is so common that it is addressed in some military first aid courses.
For problem number 1 listed in your link, the YouTube video I posted elsewhere in this thread is a solution. Moreover, my wife, who is a nurse, has never heard of "bagel injury."

Really? As toasters they're merely serviceable but as ovens I find them actually good. They heat up and cool down faster and are convenient for the things that fit in them. Which is actually a lot of things if you're not cooking for lots of people.
I hope you'll pardon my hot take above. I don't consider the way I cook to be the only valid one, but it's genuinely never crossed my mind that I'd bake something small enough that a toaster oven might suffice.
His daughter, Vi Hart, has a video about how to solve the three utilities problem on a bagel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CruQylWSfoU

How do you feel about air friers? Aka convection toaster ovens
Edited to add: before everybody gets the impression that I'm a total curmudgeon about kitchen appliances, I think electric kettles are up there with sliced bread and my immersion blender is the best $3 I've ever spent at a thrift shop. I thought food processors were moronic until I discovered how easy they make pesto (so easy!). And I would entertain the idea of sous-vide if it weren't so cultish.
On the subject of bread machines, I'm convinced that the world needs no more of them and that the existing supply will suffice for decades if people who wanted to try one went to the thrift shop instead of buying new. I've never seen a thrift shop that didn't have a couple in stock.
