Is there a CLI window management tool for KDE
I had used `wmctrl` but that doesn't seem to work with KDE Plasma. Are there any equivalent alternatives?

Mint 18.x uses SDDM windows manager , which I do not believe is in the list of supported Windows managers for wmcrtl. I not aware of any other similar app that does the same job. Though KDE does have a lot of gui programs that will do similar changes.
Good luck in your search.

I think SDDM, LightDM, GDM, etc are "display managers" and that nullsteph wants to know about whether wmctrl will work with KWin which is KDE's window manager.
Since there aren't any specific aspects, I can only say that wmctrl does work in the following (not very useful) example in Kubuntu 18.04.
I assigned a shortcut key combo of Ctrl+Super+R to the following script:
And,just to be clear, this is not in a Wayland session.

Please note that wmctrl only works with window managers which implement the EWMH specification. The program is known to work - either fully or partially - with the following window managers:
blackbox >= 0.70
icewm
kwin (the default WM for KDE)
metacity (the default WM for GNOME)
openbox >= 3
sawfish
fvwm >= 2.5
waimea
pekwm
enlightenment >= 0.16.6
xfce >= 4
fluxbox >= 0.9.6
matchbox
window maker >= 0.91
