_typeshed.Incomplete is an alias of typing.Any that hints that the type should be edited to something smaller: https://typing.python.org/en/latest/guides/writing_stubs.html#incomplete-stubs

A protocol seems like the right approach; we want to describe the shape of what we expect without any knowledge of its actual type, given we fully duck-type the extraction.

It would be interesting to discuss how we make this work, I guess some manually-applied type hint would be the only way.
