Oui, tout sont bon.
‘Tout’ is singular, so the verb must be singular ‘est’, not ‘sont’.
Oui, tout est bonne.
‘Bon’ must agree with the masculine singular subject ‘tout’, so it stays ‘bon’, not ‘bonne’.
Oui tout est bon.
A comma (or a pause) is needed after ‘Oui’ to separate the affirmation from the statement.

Cultural Tip
In French dining culture, it’s common to hear “tout est bon” when a host wants to reassure guests that the food is satisfactory. The phrase is informal but polite; in a more formal setting you might say “Tout est à votre convenance.” Also remember that bon stays masculine because the implied subject (tout) is grammatically masculine, even if you’re talking about a mixed or feminine set of items.
