How to skip Local API query like graphql does

[Hypermona]

const questions = await payload.find({
      collection: 'posts',
      skip: params.noSync
      depth: 1,
      limit,
      page: currentPage,
      overrideAccess: false,
      pagination: true,
      where: Object.keys(whereClause).length > 0 ? whereClause : undefined,
      select: {
        title: true,
        slug: true,
        categories: true,
      },
    })

How can we achieve something like skipping the execution of the query when the params field contains a particular value?
