Stop Run Command When "Disable All Tools that Write Output" is marked

I have a Run Command tool that copies / pastes a blank template Excel file (with just formatting/pivot tables) to a network folder location as part of my workflow. When I am testing this workflow, I often check the "Disable All Tools that Write Output" runtime option to stop all the Excel files from being populated while I'm tweaking things.

 

Is there a way to potentially reference in the MetaData of the software to see if the "Disable All Tools that Write Output" option is checked and then feed that into the data going into the RunCommand tool so these blank templates are also not populated? The problem for me is that the RunCommand tool is not recognized as a tool that can Write Output. 

 

Any suggestions?
