This seems really dangerous to use given it's AGPL license. IANAL but besides the inherent infectious nature of the .sql file itself, wouldn't the output .svg (or whatever) files that you produce by running this code _also_ be AGPL licensed?

AGPL, nor any other GPL variant, does not cover the output of programs. Don’t fall for the FUD, and stop spreading it.
Google (as in, the corporation, not the search results) says anything derived from AGPL code may be covered by the AGPL license. It's enough of a threat that internal use of AGPL licensed tools is forbidden at both Google and Apple and probably others.

Program output is not derived from the source code of the program.

Google and other lockdownopolists being weird about AGPL is well-known.
