In a master / agent configuration, the master operates strictly as a server -- it responds to requests from the agents, and does not otherwise communicate with them. It is typical for the agents to issue catalog requests to the master periodically, at intervals of 30 minutes by default. The agent is able to run as a local daemon to schedule this itself, or it can be scheduled via an external tool, such as 'cron'. There was at one point a mechanism by which the master could be used to send a message to agents to induce them to immediately issue a fresh catalog request. That required an opt-in on the agent side, and I am uncertain whether it is still present in Puppet 4. PuppetLabs tends now to recommend MCollective for direct remote control.
