<p>I saw <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38689/ubuntu-show-active-connections">here</a> that you can run <code>bitcoin-cli getinfo</code> to see the total number of connections that a node you're running is connected to.  Is there a way to get this information remotely?  For example, say I know that IP X.X.X.X is a bitcoin node, is there a way for me to ask it what nodes it is currently connected to?  Similar to how I can getaddr it?  </p>

No, by design.
