Reading between the lines, did a spark plug break off in situ, and whilst drilling it out the drill broke leading to bits of broken drill and spark plug being lost inside the engine?...then the engine was restarted?
If so, you don't need us to tell you that the engine should not have been restarted, the camshaft and/or head should have been removed and all broken parts found, jigsaw style, then reassembled.
All you can do now is remove the head, and fully strip it for inspection.
alternatively, is there any chance parts could have ended up inside the combustion chamber?...if not then it *might* be possible to remove the camshaft(s) leaving the head in situ, and after buying a suitable lens feed a tiny camera down into the plug hole to inspect for valve/piston damage, together with compression test.
You must be absolutely certain that debris could not have got into the cylinder, it couldeasily have become wedged down the side of the piston and still be there, that will wreck the engine completely, hence why head removal is the best bet.
I'd be DIYing this, Toyotas are usually simple enough to work on.
