Do I need a different chain tool for 12-speed?

No — this tool is rated 5-12 speed. However, 12-speed chains have narrower link plates requiring particularly precise pin driving; do not rush the operation.

Is there a risk of breaking the chain when using a chain tool?

Minimal risk with a quality tool and proper technique. Drive the pin slowly, stop before it fully exits the opposite outer plate, and check pin alignment before rejoining.
