Casting pagination value as and ID but getting a string error

[OnigiriJack]

Below is an opaque string for the cursor value:
0x14000909420g3QAAAABZAACaWRtAAAAGjAxR0pCUDlYMzhZRktWRjMzMjQzTVM4Q1o2

However I get the following error when casting the value with graphql.ID().

Message: Variable $after of type ID! found as input to argument of type String.
exit status 1

My current workaround is to pass the after value in a predefined input and handle the value on the backend, however it would be nice to pass this relay opaque string as a cursor value.
