I think the general rule is within 1" of the sidewall so it seems like it would be OK.
*UPDATE with the below.

Hi @wnsdhj ,
My mind is drawing a blank.
What the heck is that - Dynamite?
In @scottf200 's post above: Discount Tire says that a puncture
larger than 1/4" cannot be repaired.
That certainly is larger than 1/2" ...
Good luck,
Shawn

It looked like a roofing nail (w/washer) to me. ie. small shaft
looks tiny to me. though, I wouldn't repair something like this
When I was in for new tires this week,
tech asked another to check out his punctured tire.
Apparently the puncture was caused by a pair of
needle nose pliers... Still in the tire. Oops!

Well, I caught a hex key recently
happens more freq than you'd think. you roll over it and the head angles and then next thing you know it's all the way in. happened to me on the way to the service center
Agreed. I had to replace a tire when I ran over a tool with a razor type blade. Nice big slice in the tread. I think it was a paint/drywall scraper of some sorts. Thankfully Tesla Roadside assistance picked me up in a tow truck and took me to the SC. They took my car in and replaced the tire immediately.
