It looks fine to me, just a bit ruffled. If you see no signs of blood & he's not acting in pain, he'll likely be okay. You'd be the best judge of how he is compared to normal.

I think there's a dangerous toy thread somewhere. You may want to add the culprit toy.

If he is injured from the toy, it's not the tail. He just broke the tip of the feather, and unless he was hurt otherwise, he's ok.

Yep, just bent the tip a bit! It’s not the actual skin and bones or anything so he should be fine. It’s good that you are so observant and caring though!

It got caught on a toy we recently got him. I heard him yelling. Taking out the toy and hoping his tail is okay :(
he looks okay, just a bit frayed at the tail !! he may have been playing too rough and then got caught, leave the toy outside of the cage so you can supervise him while he plays with it, and so the toy doesn't go to waste! if he shows signs of any weird behavior or you find blood, then its time to worry.
