Is it possible to call convex from within a middleware.ts

I'm playing around with the new clerkMiddleware and trying to see if there would be a way for me to check if a user has a certain role by calling convex and index the users table with the token and check if that user has the role we want?

import { clerkMiddleware, createRouteMatcher } from "@clerk/nextjs/server";

const isHubRoute = createRouteMatcher(["/hub(.*)"]);

const isAdminRoute = createRouteMatcher(["/admin(.*)"]);

export default clerkMiddleware(
  (auth, req) => {
    // Restrict admin routes to users with administrative permissions
    if (isAdminRoute(req)) {
      auth().protect((has) => {
        const token = auth().getToken();

        // Call convex with the token and check for admin role
        // ...
        const isAdmin = checkAdminRole(token);

        return isAdmin; // Adjust permission identifier as needed
      });
    } else if (isHubRoute(req)) {
      auth().protect();
    }
  },
  { debug: true }
);

// Config matcher might still be used to apply this middleware correctly based on your app's routing
export const config = {
  matcher: ["/((?!.*\\..*|_next).*)", "/", "/(api|trpc)(.*)"],
};
