minecraft:looked_at is an entity component: it goes in the components object of a custom mob, or in one of its component groups. Fires events when another entity, usually a player, looks straight at this one. Endermen use it to get angry when stared at.

filters | Minecraft Filter | none | Which entities are checked as possible lookers. |
find_players_only | Boolean | "false" | Only check the nearest player that passes the filters. |
line_of_sight_obstruction_type | String | "collision" | Which block shape blocks sight: "outline", "collision" or "collision_for_camera". |

not_looked_at_event | String | none | Event fired when nobody is looking at the entity. |
scale_fov_by_distance | Boolean | "true" | Narrows the view cone the farther away the looker is, so it stays about the same width at the entity. |
