In these cases, I'd just go and copy what is written in other similar
cases already in the manual.  Should make the end overall result a bit more
consistent.  For example, borrowing from the "-add-inferior" command's text,
you'd get something like:

"The notification has a single field, @samp{thread-group}, whose value is the
identifier of the thread group corresponding to the affected inferior."
