Safe implies idempotent.

"Same effect from 0 or more actions" implies "Same effect from 1 or more actions".



All safe methods are idempotent, but not all idempotent methods are safe (e.g. PUT or DELETE.)


Safe means you can call it in any way you want. Like from a bot, or an accelerator plugin.
