I am not sure what your end goal is but it sounds like you want to get
information from the puppet node during catalog enforcement to use during
the catalog compilation. If this is the case I would recommend using a
native type and provider to perform which executes directly on the puppet
node where you can query in real time. This seems like you might end up
with thousands of facts in some cases which could cause other problems.
