I believe starting at v5.0, the rest-proxy is disabled by default. You can enable it for a BIG-IP by updating the properties to include:

"isRestProxyEnabled": true

For example:

GET https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-bigip-allDevices/devices/81cc8785-f42f-4305-b4be-bfe11effdbef/
{
  "uuid": "319967de-3d02-42f6-ab0b-ea90870fd648",
  "state": "ACTIVE",
  "product": "BIG-IP",
  "properties": {
    "shared:resolver:device-groups:discoverer": "31adc242-b23d-4d24-a111-0d18f1f50136"
  },
  ...

Send a PATCH to add 

isRestProxyEnabled
to 
properties
, then your rest-proxy request should work.
