Using Force.com Tooling API(REST),How do I get the page layout-record type assignments for the given profile id?

Requesting with

/services/data/v36.0/tooling/query?q=Select+Name,+Metadata+From+Profile+where+Id='00eXX000000XXXX'+limit+1

responds with blank nodes for recordtypes etc.

Is it even possible to retrieve the full metadata of Profile object with Tooling API?

In short term, the layout assignment information is listed in RecordType instead of Profile.

When you retrieve whole SObject Describe from this endpoint: 

/services/data/v40.0/sobjects/Account/Describe

The response have a "recordTypeInfos" section like this:

[
{available: true, defaultRecordTypeMapping: true, master: false, name: "Account Name 1", recordTypeId: "xxx", …},
{available: true, defaultRecordTypeMapping: false, master: false, name: "Account Name 2", recordTypeId: "xxx", …},
{available: true, defaultRecordTypeMapping: false, master: true, name: "Account Name 3", recordTypeId: "xxx", …}
]

For each recordTypeInfo, it contains a value called url:

url:{layout:"/services/data/v40.0/sobjects/Account/describe/layouts/YourRecordTypeId"}

If you send a GET request to this endpoint, in the response you will see the Layout Id in: 

{id: YourLayoutId}

So the mapping is already done by salesforce. That layout id reflects the layout assigned to the current user.
