Description
Let's pretend you don't know the name of an agent you want to look for in hkdb.
In order to run hkdb.get_feed_list(ldsp) you need a LoadSpec. But a LoadSpec requires a field list that cannot be None or ['*'].
Concrete example, in order to figure out the names of the stimulator agents reading out during an observation I had to go build a LoadSpec for the acu. Which is counterintuitive and in the docs.
