Differentiate puppet agent (with master) from puppet apply run?

Question

Is it possible to differentiate a puppet agent run from a puppet apply run? Is there a convenient environment variable or fact to check within my manifests?

Not convenient would be deriving this from $default_file_terminus value as they are different, but this is implicit dependency. — ITL, Aug 13 '15 at 14:30

The $trusted['authenticated'] fact might work for you. The value will be:

local for puppet apply
remote (Or possibly false) for puppet agent

This is one of the trusted facts in puppet, check out the official documentation.
