Let's not overthink this one.
To me "spooled down" means it's below minimum start ( fuel ) N1 and deceleration trend.
Inadvertent grabbing of the wrong lever/switch and turning the fuel back on would not cause the engine to spool up again.

This does NOT necessarily mean the engine is safe for ground personnel.
