If you go to a bookstore and find any Japanese dics for Japanese people, any of them will tell you that the word "都内" means only a certain part of Tokyo--On-line dics are often not reliable.
When we say 都内, we don't usually refer to entire Tokyo but only to eastern part of Tokyo, which is called twenty-three special wards, even though the word 都内 literally means 'inside Metropolis'.
The part that we usually call 都内 is painted light green in the following Wiki site, and this is what you usually see on TV screens when 'Tokyo' is being referred to.
The rest of Tokyo consists mainly of cities, with several towns and villages. In the western-most part of Tokyo, you can enjoy lots of green nature with many kinds of birds, which often surprised people from abroad. That's also part of the administrative area called Tokyo, but is not usually included when we say "都内".
Here in the following sites, you can see how the western-most parts of Tokyo look like.
