Note that these operators are best used by Hotkey. When you use them from the menu then you need to confirm the action by a mouse click. You will see a corresponding warning in the header.

You need to click at the face set that you want to hide. Same goes for the toggle. Toggle is meant for the case that you have two or more face sets. And then it toggles between the invisible and the face set that you click at.
