I just came across the same issue and found a different way to fix it. It may help in the future if someone has the same problem.

add: function (req, res) {
    if (xxx) {
        // I need to do something only when the condition above is met
        Section.count({xxx: xxx)}).exec(function (error, count) {
            if (error) {
                return res.json(500, {error: 'There was an error while trying to run query'});
            }
            //I do what I have to do
            return sails.hooks.blueprints.middleware.add(req, res);
        });
    } else {
        //I just return the default blueprint's action
        return sails.hooks.blueprints.middleware.add(req, res);
    }
}

So, basically, default blueprint functions are stored in: sails.hooks.blueprints.middleware
