Each Galaxy tool typically has a description and other helpful information located below its input form, so to learn more about SIFT, open it and scroll down in the center panel. Here we find that the format needed is a little different than our pgSnp format (blue box); SIFT requires two alleles at each SNP position, but pgSnp format lists only a single nucleotide for homozygous genotypes (blue box in history panel).
The SIFT instructions suggest adding the reference nucleotide in such cases; this can be done within Galaxy, but involves quite a few steps. For any complex task that you are likely to repeat, it is helpful to have a workflow, which is like an automatic recipe. Happily there is a published workflow to convert from the pgSnp format to what SIFT needs, so we can do this in one step by using the workflow.
