I disagree and recommend adding " and the rest lowered".
'lower' could be marked as a reference to the .lower method.

If one interprets 'capitalized' as an adjective describing the result, then it is fairly clear. If one interprets it as describing a process applied to only the first char, then is it not clear that something else (the inverse operation) is done to the rest. This additional would complete the description of the operation.

With that addition, 'only' could be removed, so it reads 
"Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized and the rest lowered."
or 'lower-cased' or 'lowercased' as the editor prefers. Loading 'only' to mean 'and the rest lowered' is a bit much and not necessary.
