the child folders are included as a property called ChildFolders The value is not output by default, but if you $result | select-object -property * it will be shown

The API is a bit literal here as most people will expect to get a list of all subfolders from this, the endpoint only returns the top level of children. This may be what you are looking for

function get-TssFolderTree   { [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
    [Parameter(Position = 0, mandatory = $true)]
    [Thycotic.PowerShell.Authentication.Session]$TssSession,
    [Parameter(Position = 1)]
    [int]$ParentFolderID = -1
    )

    $children = search-tssfolder -TssSession $tsssession -ParentFolderId $ParentFolderID
    if ($ParentFolderID -gt 0) { $list = $children.FolderId + $ParentFolderID } else { $list = $children.FolderId }

    return get-tssfolder -TssSession $TssSession -Id $list | Sort-Object FolderPath

    }
