All commands available within the Amazon EC2 API Tools are documented in the Amazon EC2 Command Line Reference - informational commands usually follow the ec2-describe-* pattern, and the one you are looking for is ec2-describe-group:

Returns information about security groups in your account. This includes both EC2 security groups and VPC security groups. For information about how the two types of groups differ, go to Security Groups in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.
