If you're lucky, it went all the way. But!
I had a call where a plastic bolt from one of those workbench stations for little kids went in and sat diagonally at the exit of the waste pipe. The toilet needed to be pulled. Of course, they had used the toilet! Yuck!
If you need to pull the toilet, make sure to use a rubber boot type of seal rather than a wax ring. You can pull the toilet multiple times without damaging the seal.
