You can’t get this from the TileMap, it’s not exposed to the API. What are you trying to accomplish?

If you must have a shape, you can make the TileMap the child of a CollisionObject2D and set collision_use_parent, and the parent object will have a polygon collision shape created and added to it.

is the new polygon collision shape added as a child to the parent?

Yes, for example, if you had a StaticBody2D with a TileMap child, setting collision_use_parent would give the StaticBody2D a collision polygon shape.
