As Paul observed, what you ask is inconsistent with Puppet's manner of operation. How you should proceed instead depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A custom fact may provide what you are looking for: you can easily add a custom fact to your system that will run a command on the node *before* each catalog request, and provide the output as a fact (accessible as a top-level Puppet variable). The documentation for custom facts (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html) provides an example of exactly that.
