I think you meant "uint8" as return value, which corresponds to the
ATT error code type.

Besides what others suggested, I would avoid using integers as
enumerations on D-Bus API, specially if the actual values are not
defined by any specification. If you take a look at other API docs in
doc/* you may see examples where string are used. IMHO this make the
client code much more readable and does not require looking at the API
doc all the time. Example:

###
uint8 WriteValue(array{byte} value, string method)

Write the value of the characteristic, with specified method:
"WithoutResponse" or "WithResponse". Other write methods may be added
in the future.

An alternative is to use dict, if multiple "flags" are allowed.
