Limit switch for print plate detection

Not sure if this belongs here or in the user mods section. I have a limit switch attached to the front of my printer that triggers when the plate is on the print bed. If the plate is not present, the limit switch kills a print sent through Octoprint.

I was curious if there are extra pins available and a reasonable way to address them via gcode to bake this check into the print itself. That way, I can print directly from the printer without accidentally killing my hot bed (again).
