Possible flags:
- uint16 offset
Write start offset in bytes.
- uint16 mtu
Exchanged MTU (Server only).
- object device
Device path (Server only).

Properties
string UUID [read-only]
128-bit descriptor UUID.
object Characteristic [read-only]
Object path of the GATT characteristic the descriptor belongs to.
array{byte} Value [read-only, optional]
The cached value of the descriptor. This property gets updated only after a successful read request, upon which a PropertiesChanged signal will be emitted.
array{string} Flags [read-only]
Defines how the descriptor value can be used.
Possible values:
"read"
"write"
"encrypt-read"
"encrypt-write"
"encrypt-authenticated-read"
"encrypt-authenticated-write"
"secure-read" (Server Only)
"secure-write" (Server Only)
"authorize"
uint16 Handle [read-only] (Client Only)
Descriptor handle.
uint16 Handle [read-write, optional] (Server Only)
Descriptor handle. When available in the server it would attempt to use to allocate into the database which may fail, to auto allocate the value 0x0000 shall be used which will cause the allocated handle to be set once registered.
