What do you call people who answer to the point? (irritatingly, annoyingly)
Example
Mr. Hermez is the boss and has an office and his secretary sits in same location with his workstation just outside mr. Hermez's office door.
AMN on phone: Is Mr. Hermez there in the office?
Mr. Hermez's secretary answers back: Yes he is there.
Hermez's secretary knows AMN is desperate to meet Mr. Hermez since morning and has called in for the same reason.
AMN walks quarter mile to Mr. Hermez office to find Mr. Hermez was already busy with top managers from same the office even before the call between AMN and secretary.
In this case as Mr. Hermez's secretary knew AMN was coming, it made sense to inform AMN about Mr. Hermez's prior engagement with some people. So in this case the person i.e. Mr. Hermez's secretary just answer to the point.
AMN is annoyed with the secretary.
AMN to secretary: You should not be so _______ (answering to the point)
What would you call such a person irritatingly.
