The --mode option was removed and replaced with --run_mode in 3.x
https://github.com/jjulien/puppet/commit/f4e229ee5a0a1d6a62735eb434eb2c284b7f517d#diff-022bd17388c88fcad57e6f36fff407fb
as a result of some concerns expressed in 
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16189

This does not appear to be working though, as an error is thrown when 
--run_mode is being specified and the bootstrapping of the run to a default 
of "agent" also does not appear to be functioning properly.

You may want to use an iniparser to gather this info until the bug can be 
fixed.  Another option is to use the following ruby code:

require 'puppet'
app = Puppet::Application::Agent.new()
app.preinit
Puppet.settings.parse
Puppet[:daemonize] = false
app.setup

# You can now access your [agent] config settings like so:
puts "Agent environment: #{Puppet[:environment]}"

This works fine on a normal functioning puppet client.  One bug that will 
cause an endless loop for you is if your certificate and private key don't 
match.  Probably quite the corner case for most, but I'm in the middle of 
some rigorous testing around Puppet monitoring and have come across that 
situation.
