Idempotency Key
A unique identifier used in distributed systems to guarantee operation idempotence. It is generated by the client and sent with the request, and the server avoids executing the same operation multiple times by recognizing duplicate keys.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Any tool that involves write operations should accept an Idempotency Key, ensuring that the same call executed twice produces only one effect.
The idempotency key should assign a globally unique identifier to each approved action, and the execution side checks whether that key has already been processed before writing to the database or calling an external API; if it has been processed, it returns the previous result, ensuring the side effect happens only once.
