Short answer

Can my AI tell me if a website uses green hosting?

Yes. Your AI uses the check_green_hosting tool to look up the energy source of a specific URL. You'll get a clear answer on whether the host runs on renewable energy.

    Yes, as long as the website's hosting information is available in the Green Web database.
